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

The dead guy you saw me to is your boss
I to put a spell on him but his spirit is illiterate
I know things you know and you don't know
I saw something in the way of things
Something grinning at me and I wanted to know, was it
Was it so funny it followed me down the
everybody like the good humor man
And they got the taste of good humor but no ice
It was like

Me talking across people into the
And not seeing the beings around me
ice picks, you could see them
But they looked like important Negroes on the way to your
like important jiggaboos on the way to your auction
And let them chant the
And use an ivory pointer to your teeth
Remember Fetchit
Remember Steppen Fetchit how we
An all your Sunday school images giving flesh and
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
why I say the things I do, you know it
But it's else to you, like that job
morning when you got there and it was quiet
And the machines yearning soft behind you
Yearning for that nigga to come and give up his
Standin' bein' dissed and broke and troubled

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

garbage 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 ain't the right
Your cable on but ain't nothin' you can see
But I see something in the way of
to make us stumble
Something get us drunk from noise and to sadness
I see something and feel something 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 it but then we got to argue"
And the light come down around us
Even though we where the mic is
the Negro squinting at us through 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" said
Ain't it too bad, such a nice boy always kind to his
say good morning to everybody on his way to work
But last time before he got locked up and hurt, real bad
I seen him walkin' toward his house and he wasn't
And he didn't even say
But I knew he'd seen something, something in the way of
That it worked on him like it do in
And he kept marching and faster away from us
And even muttered a word
the next day he was gone

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

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

And in my eyes too, a craziness
Splitting them into the jet stream of a black bird with his ass on
Or the notness of where we go to know we gonna be happy
I seen something, I something
And you seen it too, you it too
You just call it's name
