It’s about struggling with his mixed heritage. Lines 1-2 are in standard English, representing stereotypes of whiteness. Lines 3-4 are in vernacular, representing of blackness. The shoes similarly suggest his own " mismated" heritage. “Morning" is a metaphor for how his birth has caused the frustration of straddling two cultures, but never fully belonging to one.
