Why is it so hard?
To make it in America
ย
I try so hard
To make it in America
A land of milk and honey
A land supposed to be built with love
It take love and understanding
To live and let live
ย
I was born in Gainesville, Florida
I traveled far and wide
Then I moved to Brooklyn, New York
Had hard times, for sometime I hold on
Why is it so hard?
To make it in America
I try so hard
To make it in America
ย
Seemed like nothing was goin' right
So I said to myself, ah
You got to move away from here
I went to upstate New York
A little town they call Poughkeepsie
Got me a job
To get away from all this stress
But I couldn't get away
No matter how far I went
Seems like nothing gonna change
ย
Everything still remained the same
ย
Why is it so hard?
To make it in America
ย
I try so hard
To make it in America
ย
(Why is it so hard?) why?
(Why is it so hard?) tell me, tell me
(Why is it so hard?) we gotta make a change, in America
(Why is it so hard?) help me somebody
