Verse 1
(G major) I wish (D major) I was strong (Csus2) enough (D major) to
(E minor) lift not (D major) one but (Csus2) both us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift
Verse 2
not one but both of us
(G major) Ever thought about losing it?
When your (D major) money is all gone
and you lose your whip
You might (Csus2) lose your grip
When the landlord tell you
that you're (D major) due for rent
And the grass so green
on the (G major) other side
Make a nigga wanna run straight
(D major) through the fence
Open up the fridge about (Csus2) 20 times
But still can't find no (D major) food in it
That's foolishness
And (G major) sometimes I wonder
All we (D major) care so much about the
way we look
And the (Csus2) way we talk,
and the way we act
And the (D major) clothes we bought,
how much that cost?
(G major) Does it even really matter?
Cuz (D major) if life is an uphill battle,
We all try to (Csus2) climb on the
same old ladder
In the same (D major) boat with the
same old paddle
Why so shallow, (G major) I'm just asking
What's the (D major) pattern to the madness?
Every (Csus2) body in a #1 draft pick
Most of (D major) us aint Hollywood actors
But if it's (G major) all for one, and one for all
Then (D major) maybe one day we all can ball
(Csus2) Do it one time for the underdogs
Sin (D major) cerely yours, from one of y'all

Verse 3
(G major) I wish (D major) I was strong (Csus2) enough (D major) to
lift (E minor) not (D major) one but (Csus2) both us
Someday (G major) I (D major) will be strong (Csus2)
enough (D major) to (E minor) lift not (D major) one but (Csus2) both of us
Verse 4
(G major) I can feel your pain, (D major)
I can feel your struggle
You just want to (Csus2) live
(C major) But everything (Csus2) so low,
(D major) That you can drown in the puddle
That's why I gotta (G major) hold us up
Yeah hold us up
For (D major) all the times no one ever spoke for us
So (Csus2) every single (C major) time that they
(Csus2) play this song
You can (D major) say that,
"that's what Bobby Ray wrote for us"
When his (G major) eyes get too high
And the sea up under (D major) neath get so deep
And you feel like you're
(Csus2) just another person
Getting lost in the crowd
Way up (D major) high in the nosebleeds
(Uh)
Because we've (G major) both been there
Yeah both of us
But we still (D major) stand tall
With our shoulders up
And (Csus2) even though we always
against the odds
(D major) These are the things
that have molded us
And if (G major) life hadn't chosen us
Sometimes I (D major) wonder
Where I would have wound up
Cuz if it was up to me
(Csus2) I would make a new blueprint
Then (D major) build it from the ground up
Hey, but if its (G major) all for one
And One for all
Then (D major) maybe one day
We all could ball
(Csus2) Do it one time for the underdogs
From (D major) Bobby Ray to all of y'all
Verse 5
(G major) I (D major) wish I was strong (Csus2) enough (D major) to
(E minor) lift not one (D major) but (Csus2) both us
Someday (G major) (D major) I will be strong (Csus2) (D major) enough to (E minor) lift
not one (D major) but (Csus2) both of us (D major)
Outro 1
