Luyện nghe bài hát Something in the Way of Things (In Town)

In
In
In

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

The dead guy you saw me talking to is boss
I tried to put a on him but his spirit is illiterate
I know things you know and nothing you don't
Except I saw in the way of things
Something grinning at me and I to know, was it funny?
Was it so funny it followed me the street
everybody like the good humor man
And they got the taste of humor but no ice cream
It was that

Me talking across into the houses
And not seeing the crowding around me
With ice picks, you could see
But they looked important Negroes on the way to your funeral
Looked like important jiggaboos on the way to your
And let chant the number
And use an ivory to count your teeth
Steppen Fetchit
Remember Steppen Fetchit how we
An all Sunday school images giving flesh and giggling
With the ice pick high off his
you laugh anyway

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

My mistake is I sayin', "That was proof
God exist"
And you told me, "Nah, it was proof the devil do"
But still it's I see something, I hear things
I saw words in the white boy's rag
Said he was gonna die poor and
That them dreams walk which you 'cross
He's gonna die from work

There's on the street that's tellin' you, you ain't shit
And you almost it
Broke and all the time
You know some of the words but they the right ones
Your back on but ain't nothin' you can see
But I see something in the way of
Something to make us
get us drunk from noise and addicted to sadness
I see and feel something stalking us
Like and ugly thing floating at our calling 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' come around us
Even we remember where the mic is
Remember the Negro squinting at us through the
You've seen what I see
The smile that ain't a smile but teeth flying against our
You see too but can't call it's name

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

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

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

And in my eyes too, a waving
Splitting them 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 seen it too, you it too
You just can't call it's
