Both of Us

Lyrics

[Chorus: 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 [Verse 1: B.o.B, Taylor Swift] Uh, ever thought about losin' it When your money's all gone and you lose your whip (Ooh-ooh) You might lose your grip when the landlord tell you that you 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 (Ooh-ooh) 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 (Ooh-ooh) 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 (Ooh-ooh) We all try to climb on the same old ladder In the same boat, with the same ol' paddle Why so shallow? I'm just askin' What's the pattern to the madness? (Ooh-ooh) Everybody in 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 could ball (Ooh-ooh) Do it one time for the underdogs Sincerely yours, from one of y'all [Chorus: Taylor Swift] I wish I was strong enough To lift not one but both of us Some day I will be strong enough To lift not one but both of us [Verse 2: B.o.B, Taylor Swift] I could feel your pain, I could feel your struggle (Ooh-ooh) You just wanna live, but everything's 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's ever spoke for us (Ooh-ooh) 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 gets so deep And you feel like you're just another person (Ooh-ooh) Getting lost in the crowd, way up high in the nosebleeds, uh Because we've both been there, both of us But we still stand tall with our shoulders up (Ooh-ooh) And even though we always against the odds These are the things that've 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 could ball Do it one time for the underdogs From Bobby Ray, to all of y'all [Chorus: 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 [Outro: Taylor Swift] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
