In America, in America I poured my sweat in America This land is my land It's America I broke my back for America All of money I make All of these chances I take Just paying my rent in America Won't just stand around Watch it go down Won't just stand around Watch it go down But maybe it's a long shot Maybe it's a fantasy We've given it all that we've got Maybe we can live a dream Oh, oh Can we build a new life was it ever meant that we Could make it in America Make it in America In America, in America They say I'm free in America In America, in America I still can't breath in America Watch them squeezing my neck Watch them bullets connect We still gon' fight in America Won't just stand around Can't watch it go down Won't just stand around Watch it go down But maybe it's a long shot Maybe it's a fantasy We've given it all that we've got Maybe we can live a dream Oh, oh Can we build a new life was it ever meant that we Could make it in America Make it in America We'll make it in America We'll make it in America We'll make it in America We'll make it in America We'll make it in America We'll make it in America We'll make it in America We'll make it in America In America, in America My hopes right here in America In America, in America My hope, my prayer in America
