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, ââ¬Â½Some are weak, the weak fall by the wayside
And all the strong the strong surviveââ¬Â
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 the 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 chosen few
'Cause if we wanna 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 loadââ¬Â
Can he carry his load, can he carry his load?
(Can he pick it up? Can he pick it up?)
Can he carry his load, can he carry his load?
(Come on tell me? Please, can he pick it up? Yeah)
Is he strong enough because the road is tough
(Uh, tell me)
Strong enough, because the road is tough
(Well, is he strong enough)
Strong enough, because the road is tough
(Is he strong enough?)
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Is he strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
(Is he strong enough?)
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
