Something in the way of
Something will quit and won't start
Something you but can't stand
Can't know, get with like death
on top of the car
Peering the windshield for his cue
Something fictitious and true
That creeps across your path your evil ways
Like were yourself, passing yourself not smiling

The guy you saw me talking to is your boss
I tried to put a spell on him but his is illiterate
I know things you know and you don't know
Except I saw something in the way of
Something at me and I wanted to know, was it funny?
Was it so it followed me down the street
Greeting everybody the good humor man
And they got the of good humor but no ice cream
It was that

Me across people into the houses
And not seeing the beings around me
ice picks, you could see them
But they looked like important Negroes on the way to your
Looked important jiggaboos on the way to your auction
And let chant the number
And use an ivory pointer to count teeth
Remember Fetchit
Remember Steppen how we laughed
An all your Sunday school images flesh and giggling
With the ice pick off his head
Made you anyway

I can see something in the way of
I can see something in the way of
That's why I say the I do, you know it
But it's something else to you, like job
This when you got there and it was quiet
And the machines were yearning soft you
Yearning for that to come and give up his life
Standin' there bein' dissed and broke and

My is I kept sayin', "That was proof
God exist"
And you told me, "Nah, it was proof that the do"
But still it's I see something, I hear things
I saw in the white boy's lying rag
Said he was gonna die and frustrated
That them walk which you 'cross town
He's gonna die over work

There's garbage on the that's tellin' you, you ain't shit
And you almost it
and mistaken all the time
You know some of the words but they the right ones
Your cable on but ain't nothin' you can see
But I see something in the way of
Something to make us
Something get us drunk from noise and addicted to
I see something and feel stalking us
Like and ugly thing floating at our back us names
You see it and it too

But you say, "It got a right to
Just like you and if God made it but we got to argue"
And the light gon' down around us
though we remember where the mic is
Remember the Negro squinting at us the cage
You've seen I see too?
The that ain't a smile but teeth flying against our necks
You see too but can't call it's name

"Ain't it too bad" y'all
Ain't it too bad, such a nice boy always to his mother
say good morning to everybody on his way to work
But that last time before he got up and hurt, real bad
I seen him walkin' toward his house and he wasn't
And he didn't even say
But I he'd seen something, something in the way of things
That it worked on him it do in will
And he kept marching faster and faster from us
And never muttered a word
the next day he was gone

You wanna know, You wanna know what I'm talkin' about
Sayin', "I've seen in the way of things
And how the boys looked that day"
Just before they took him
There is in that face and now
Remember all them faces
And all the many places seen him
Or the sister with his wandering up the street
Remember what you've in your own mirror
And didn't for a second recognize the face, your own
Straining to get out behind the glass

Open your like you was gon' say somethin'
Close your eyes and what you saw
And what it you feel like
Now, you see something else
cold and ugly
Not invisible but with the shadow
Criss-crossing the old man, squatting by the store
At the corner with is head uneasily on his folded arms
And the boy that smiled and the he went with

And in my eyes too, a waving
Splitting into the jet stream of a black bird with his ass on fire
Or the solemn notness of where we go to we gonna be happy
I seen something, I seen
And you it too, you seen it too
You just can't call it's
