Both of Us

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us
 Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
 Ever thought about losing it?
 When your money is all gone and you lose your whip
 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
 But still can't find no food in it
 That's foolishness
 And sometimes I wonder
 All we care so much about the way we look
 And the way we talk, and the way we act
 And the clothes we bought, how much that cost?
 Does it even really matter?
 Cuz if life is an uphill battle,
 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?
 Everybody in a #1 draft pick
 Most of us aint Hollywood actors
 But if it's all for one, and one for all
 Then maybe one day we all can ball
 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 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
 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
 So every single time that they play this song
 You can say that, "that's what Bobby Ray wrote for us"
 When his eyes get too high
 And the sea up underneath get so deep
 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
 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
 Cuz if it was up to me
 I would make a new blueprint
 Then build it from the ground up
 Hey, but if its 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 us
 Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
