Why Is It So Hard (feat. Menahan Street Band)

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
