Why Is It So Hard
Why is it so hard?
To make it in America
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
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
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
Everything still remained the same
Why is it so hard?
To make it in America
I try so hard
To make it in America
(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
To make it in America
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
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
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
Everything still remained the same
Why is it so hard?
To make it in America
I try so hard
To make it in America
(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
