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

from B.o.B (Ft. Taylor Swift) – Both of Us Lyrics on Rap Genius

B.o.B is imagining in this song that he’s poor. He works hard as hell but the money lasts only for Bobby Ray himself.

Nevertheless, he tries everything to make the money last for him and his future wife.

Another meaning could be that B.o.B is emotionally down at the moment, so that he has to build up himself again before he starts a relationship.

A man should have the power to be strong enough for his girl and himself in a relationship
