Born in a middle class family wasn't my choice, You see, with this status in life, we have no voice, You don't even hear us, when we make noise. So tell me, is it my fault? Is it my fault that I don't have money for college? Those rich kids do, but they don't even acknowledge. Money shouldn't be stopping me from getting my knowledge. So tell me, is it my fault? My son will also be stuck in a middle class, because my father was too. The rich kids don't have to worry, they have a grandfather to got to. Their life is set, they will be provided with a million or two. So tell me, is it my fault? You see, Middle class here is poverty elsewhere. Countries like India, Africa are destined to go nowhere Because for them, just like us, life is not fair. So tell me, is it their fault? Walking down my white neighborhood, they all stare at me, It's because I'm not a white man, can’t you see? Because in society, there is no word call equality. So tell me is it my fault? You are scared of immigrants, I'm scared of your mentality For once, try facing their everyday reality Stop with this social stratification, let's live in unity So we can all say it together: It's not our fault. Daniel is a nice, understanding, and humble person. He likes to meet new people. He will be attending Raritan Valley Community College in the Fall.
