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

In
In
In

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

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

Me talking across into the houses
And not seeing the beings crowding me
With ice picks, you see them
But they looked like important Negroes on the way to funeral
like important jiggaboos on the way to your auction
And let them chant the
And use an ivory pointer to your teeth
Steppen Fetchit
Remember Steppen Fetchit how we
An all your school images giving flesh and giggling
With the ice high off his head
Made you anyway

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

My is I kept sayin', "That was proof
God exist"
And you me, "Nah, it was proof that the devil do"
But still it's like I see something, I hear
I saw words in the white lying rag
he was gonna die poor and frustrated
That dreams walk which you 'cross town
gonna die from over work

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

But you say, "It got a to exist
Just like you and if God it but then we got to argue"
And the gon' come down around us
though we remember where the mic is
Remember the squinting at us through the cage
seen what 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" said
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 him walkin' toward his house and he wasn't smiling
And he didn't even say
But I knew he'd seen something, something in the way of
That it on him like it do in will
And he marching faster and faster away from us
And never muttered a word
Then the next day he was

You know, what? You wanna know what I'm talkin' about
Sayin', "I've something in the way of things
And how the face looked that day"
Just before they him away
is in that face and remember now
Remember all other faces
And all the many you've seen him
Or the sister his child wandering up the street
Remember you've seen in your own mirror
And for a second recognize the face, your own face
Straining to get out behind the glass

Open mouth like you was gon' say somethin'
your eyes and remember what you saw
And what it you feel like
Now, don't you see something
Something cold and
Not invisible but with the shadow
Criss-crossing the old man, squatting by the drug
At the corner with is head resting uneasily on his arms
And the boy that smiled and the he went with

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