Written by:B. MALIK/SIMMONS/G. WALTER/JONES/A. HILL/GOTTWALD/J. MONTGOMERY[00:00:01]
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us[00:00:14]
Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us[00:00:28]
Ever thought about losing it[00:00:43]
When your money's all gone and you lose your whip[00:00:45]
You might lose your grip when the landlord tell you that you due for rent[00:00:47]
And the grass so green on the other side[00:00:49]
Make a ni**a wanna run straight through the fence[00:00:51]
Open up the fridge about 20 times[00:00:53]
But still can't find no food in it[00:00:55]
That's foolishness[00:00:57]
And sometimes I wonder why we care so much about the way we look[00:00:58]
And the way we talk and the way we act and the clothes we bought[00:01:01]
How much that cost[00:01:04]
Does it even really matter[00:01:05]
Cause if life is an uphill battle[00:01:07]
But y'all tryna climb with the same ol' ladder[00:01:08]
In the same boat with the same ol' paddle[00:01:10]
Why so shallow I'm just asking[00:01:12]
What's the pattern to the madness[00:01:14]
Everybody ain't a number one draft pick[00:01:16]
Most of us ain't Hollywood actors[00:01:18]
But if it's all for one and one for all[00:01:19]
Then maybe one day we all can ball[00:01:21]
I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us[00:01:23]
Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us[00:01:34]
I can feel your pain I can feel your struggle[00:01:49]
You just wanna live but everything's so low[00:01:52]
That you could drown in a puddle[00:01:54]
That's why I gotta hold us up yeah hold us up[00:01:55]
For all the times no one's ever spoke for us[00:01:58]
To every single time that they play this song[00:01:59]
You can say that that's what bobby ray wrote for us[00:02:01]
When the tides get too high[00:02:03]
And the sea up underneath get so deep[00:02:04]
And you feel like you're just another person[00:02:06]
Getting lost in the crowd way up high in the nosebleeds[00:02:07]
Uh because we've both been there both of us[00:02:10]
But we still stand tall with our shoulders up[00:02:12]
And even though we always against the odds[00:02:14]
These are the things that've molded us[00:02:16]
And if life hadn't chosen us[00:02:18]
Sometimes I wonder where would've wound up[00:02:19]
Cause if it was up to me I'd make a new blueprint[00:02:20]
Then build it from the ground up hey[00:02:23]
But if it's all for one and one for all[00:02:25]
Then maybe one day we all can ball[00:02:27]
Do it one time for the underdogs[00:02:29]
From bobby ray to all of y'all[00:02:30]
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us[00:02:32]
Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us[00:02:46]
