[Intro]
G  C  Em  D
[Taylor]
GI wish I was strDong enough to liEmft not one but bCoth us
Some Gday I will be stronDg enough to lift Emnot one but botCh of us
[Verse 1: B.o.B]
(G Em throughout the verse)
Ever thought about losing it
When your money's all gone and you lose your whip
You might lose your grip when the landlord tell ya 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 'bout twenty times
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
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
We all tryna climb with the same ol' ladder
In the same boat, with the same ol' paddle
Why so shallow? I'm just asking
What's the pattern for the madness
Everybody ain't a number one 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
Do it one time for the underdogs
Sincerely yours, from one of y'all
[Chorus: Taylor]
GI wish I was strDong enough to liEmft not one but bCoth us
Some Gday I will be stronDg enough to lift Emnot one but botCh of us
[Verse 2: B.o.B]
(G Em throughout the verses)
I can feel your pain, I can feel your struggle
You just wanna live, been everything so low
That you could drown in a puddle
That's why I gotta hold us up, yeah hold us up
For all the times no one ever spoke for us
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
And you feel like you're just another person
Getting lost in the crowd, way up high in the nosebleed
Uh, because we won't be near yet, 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've 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 can ball
Do it one time for the underdogs
From Bobby Ray, to all of y'all
[Chorus: Taylor]
GI wish I was strDong enough to liEmft not one but bCoth us
Some Gday I will be stronDg enough to lift Emnot one but botCh of us

G D Em C

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us

G D Em C

Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

[Verse 1: B.o.B]

(G Em throughout the verse)

Ever thought about losing it

When your money's all gone and you lose your whip

You might lose your grip when the landlord tell ya 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 'bout twenty times

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

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

We all tryna climb with the same ol' ladder

In the same boat, with the same ol' paddle

Why so shallow? I'm just asking

What's the pattern for the madness

Everybody ain't a number one 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

Do it one time for the underdogs

Sincerely yours, from one of y'all

[Chorus: Taylor]

G D Em C

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us

G D Em C

Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

[Verse 2: B.o.B]

(G Em throughout the verses)

I can feel your pain, I can feel your struggle

You just wanna live, been everything so low

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

To every single time that they play this song

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