Why Is It So Hard lyrics

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 built with love

It takes love and understanding to live and let live

I was born and raised in Florida

I traveled far and wide

Then I moved to Brooklyn New York

Had hard times, but sometime I hold on

Why is it so hard to make it in America?

I tried so hard to make it in America

Seemed like nothing is going right

So I said to myself, you gotta move away from here

I went of to state of New York, a little town they call Poughkeepsie

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's 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

Why is it so hard? Why is it so hard?

Why is it so hard? Why is it so hard?
