Both of Us (feat. Taylor Swift)

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's 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 **** wanna run straight through the fence

Open up the fridge 'bout twenty times, but you 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 a uphill battle

We all tryna 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 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

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

You just want to live

But 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

So 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 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

'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

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
