In America Lyrics - John Legend

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
