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
