John Legend - In America lyrics

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 the money I make All these chances I've taken Just paying my rent in America Won't just stand around, watch it go down Won't just stand around, and watch it go down Oh, maybe it's a long shot maybe it's a fantasy But given all that we've got maybe we could live the 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 breathe in America Watch them squeezing my neck Watch them bullets connect We still gonna fight in America Won't just stand around, watch it go down Won't just stand around, and watch it go down Oh, maybe it's a long shot maybe it's a fantasy But given all that we've got maybe we could live the 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… (x8) In America, in America My hope's right here in America In America, in America My hope, my prayer in America
