Charles Bradley - Why Is It So Hard lyrics

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 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, tell me, tell me We gotta make a change, in America Help me somebody
