No man's land
Brought up to fear is fellow human
Because he is a black
Hatred beget hatred when he was denied the right to be educated
He just wanted to be a pilot and a business man
But all that is left in the colored world is to be a servant
He didn't believe in afterlife because even if he was born again he will still be ashamed of his color
That's what the white instill in those black
Black are to respect the white even if they are exploit, denigrate, dehumanize or dictate to them
When he kills to proofs to the white that black aren't afraid of them
But he told his lawyer I ain't hard for once
I ain't going to trust nobody
I will kill you and go to hell and pay for it
He feels like is life is trapped in a black skin
He is also a Native son
Why is he oppressed
White man, listen!
IT'S NO MAN'S LAND
HE IS NOT AN OUTSIDER
HE IS THE NATIVE SON
