Place, Pt. 1: No. 5, Breakup Letter
A vast amount of energy that goes in
To what we call the Negro problem
Is produced by the white man's profound desire
Not to be judged by those who are not white
Not to be seen as he is
A vast amount of the white anguish is terrible
You told me I was invasive
To what we call the Negro problem
It hurt but I knew it was the truth Is produced
By the white man's profound desire
Not to be judged by those who are not white
Not to be seen as he is
A vast amount of the white anguish is terrible
Rooted in the white man's equally profound need
To be seen as he is
Flashes of defensiveness
To be released
Flashes of anger
From the
(Of bitterness, of ferocious resentment)
Tyranny of his mirror
To what we call the Negro problem
Is produced by the white man's profound desire
Not to be judged by those who are not white
Not to be seen as he is
A vast amount of the white anguish is terrible
You told me I was invasive
To what we call the Negro problem
It hurt but I knew it was the truth Is produced
By the white man's profound desire
Not to be judged by those who are not white
Not to be seen as he is
A vast amount of the white anguish is terrible
Rooted in the white man's equally profound need
To be seen as he is
Flashes of defensiveness
To be released
Flashes of anger
From the
(Of bitterness, of ferocious resentment)
Tyranny of his mirror
