I wish I was

Strong enough

To lift not one but

Both of us

Someday I will be

Strong enough

To lift not one but

Both of us (uh)

Ever thought about losing it?

When your money is all gone and you lose your whip (ooh-ooh)

You might lose your grip

When the landlord tell you that you're due for rent

And the grass so green on the other side

Make a nigga wanna run straight through the fence

Open up the fridge about 20 times (ooh-ooh)

But still can't find no food in it, that's foolishness

And sometimes I wonder

Why we care so much about the way we look (ooh-ooh)

And the way we talk, and the way we act

And the clothes we bought, how much that cost?

Does it even really matter?

'Cause if life is an uphill battle (ooh-ooh)

We all try to climb on the same old ladder

In the same boat with the same old paddle

Why so shallow? I'm just asking

What's the pattern to the madness? (Ooh-ooh)

Everybody in a #1 draft pick

Most of us ain't Hollywood actors

But if it's all for one, and one for all

Then maybe one day we all can ball (ooh-ooh)

Do it one time for the underdogs

Sincerely yours, from one of y'all

I wish I was

Strong enough to

Lift not one but

Both of us

Someday I will be

Strong enough to

Lift not one but

Both of us

I can feel your pain

I can feel your struggle (ooh-ooh)

You just want to live, but everything so low

That you can drown in the puddle

That's why I gotta hold us up, yeah, hold us up

For all the times no one ever spoke for us (ooh-ooh)

To every single time that they play this song

You can say that, "That's what Bobby Ray wrote for us"

When the tides get too high

And the sea up underneath get so deep (ooh-ooh)

And you feel like you're just another person

Getting lost in the crowd, way up high in the nosebleeds, uh

Because we've both been there, yeah, both of us

But we still stand tall, with our shoulders up (ooh-ooh)

And even though we always against the odds

These are the things that have molded us

And if life hadn't chosen us

Sometimes I wonder where I would have wound up

'Cause if it was up to me

I'd make a new blueprint then build it from the ground up

Hey, but if it's all for one and one for all

Then maybe one day we all could ball

Do it one time for the underdogs

From Bobby Ray to all of y'all

I wish I was

Strong enough to

Lift not one but

Both of us

Someday I will be

Strong enough to

Lift not one but

Both of us

Ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh
