There's a system we all must follow

If we wanna get ahead

Some men are strong enough to make it

And others are just too afraid

But mama told me a story

And it keeps, keeps me alive

Said some are weak, the weak fall by the wayside

And all the strong the strong survive

Now you tell me...

How strong is the strength of a man

Can he stay on his road, and carry his load

Can he carry his load

Can he carry his load

Can he carry his load

Can he carry his load

We have picked people, and say they're on our side

And after they did everything they want (y'all)

They start to tell us lie, just lie after lie

But we can't blame our problems

On just that chose few

Caues if we wann solve then

It's up to me and up to you

Now you tell me...

How strong is the strength of a man

Can he stay on his road, and carry his load

Can he carry his load

Can he carry his load

Can he carry his load

Can he carry his load

Is he strong enough, because the road is tough

Strong enough, because the road is tough
