Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was raised up by my mamma alone
Worked herself into the grave
Trying to make us a home
She never left South Carolina
[Verse 2]
No, nah
[Verse 3]
Our old man didn't stick around to see me grown
He was long gone 'fore the coffee got cold
Wouldn't even know where to find him
[Verse 4]
Woah
Wasn't strong enough
Woah
He wasn't strong enough
[Verse 5]
Alright, alright, alright, alright
[Verse 6]
I left home with nothing but a dream I had
All I own, I could roll up in a paper bag
Getting out of South Carolina
Alright
[Verse 7]
I've been told there's gold in this land
All I know is what I hold in my own two hands
If it's out there I'm gonna find it
[Verse 8]
Oh, am I strong enough?
Oh, am I strong enough?
[Verse 9]
Everywhere you turn there's another man slammin' doors
Looking at you like he wouldn't even let you sweep his floors
[Verse 10]
I was raised up by my mamma on her own
Worked herself into the grave
Trying to make us a home
Never left South Carolina
[Verse 11]
I left home with nothing but a dream I had
All I own, I could hold in a paper bag
Getting out of South Carolina
[Verse 12]
Oh, am I strong enough?
Oh, tell me am I strong enough?
[Verse 13]
Oh, am I strong enough?
Oh, tell me am I strong enough?
[Verse 14]
Am I strong enough?
Am I strong enough?
Am I strong enough?
Am I strong enough?
[Verse 15]
Oh, tell me
Am I strong enough?
Oh, got to tell me
Am I strong enough?
Oh, tell me
Am I strong enough?
