Why is it so hard,
to make it in America?
I tried so hard,
to make it in America!
A land of milk and honey,
a land supposed to be filled with love,
it takes love and understanding,
to live and let live.
I was born in Gainesville, Florida.
I travelled far and wide.
And I moved to Brooklyn, New York.
Had hard times, but sometimes I hold on.
Why it is so hard,
to make it in America?
I tried so hard,
to make it in America!
Seemed like nothing was going right,
so I said to myself: You gotta move away from here.
I went Upstate New York, a little town called McKilsey.
Got me a job, to get away from all that stress.
But I couldn't get away, no matter how far I went.
Seemed like nothing gonna change.
Everything still remained the same.
Why is it so hard,
to make it in America?
I tried so hard,
to make it in America!
Background: Why is it so hard?
Why? Tell me why, tell me.
We gotta make a change in America!
Everybody!
