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 
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 
Strong enough, because the road is tough
