In

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

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

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

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 something to you, like that job
This morning you got there and it was quiet
And the machines were yearning behind you
Yearning for that nigga to come and give up his
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 that the do"
But still it's like I see something, I hear
I saw in the white boy's lying rag
Said he was die poor and frustrated
them dreams walk which you 'cross town
He's gonna die from work

There's garbage on the street tellin' you, you ain't shit
And you almost it
and mistaken all the time
You know some of the but they ain't the right ones
Your cable back on but nothin' you can see
But I see in the way of things
to make us stumble
Something get us drunk from and addicted to sadness
I see something and something stalking us
and ugly 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 Negro squinting at us the cage
You've seen what I see
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, a nice boy always kind to his mother
Always say good morning to everybody on his way to
But that last time before he got locked up and hurt, bad
I him walkin' toward his house and he wasn't smiling
And he didn't say hello
But I knew seen something, something in the way of things
it worked on him like it do in will
And he kept marching faster and away from us
And never even a word
the next day he was gone

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

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

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