Why is it so hard
To make it in America
I try so hard
To make it in America
A land with milk and honey
A land supposed to be built with love
It take love and understanding
To live and let live
I was born in Gainesville, Florida
I traveled for and wide
Then I moved to brooklyn, New York
Had hard times
So I say to myself
Looks like nothing gonna change
I 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 can't away
No matter how far I went
Looks like nothing gonna change
