Something in the Way of (In Town)

In x3

Something in the way of
Something that will and won't start
Something you know but stand
Can't know get along
Like
Riding on top of the car peering through the for his cue
Something fictitious and true
That creeps across your path hallowing evil ways
Like they were passing 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 things you know and nothing 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 me down the street
everybody like the good humor man
But an they got the taste of humor but no ice cream
It was dat
Me talking people into the houses
And not seeing the beings crowding around me with ice
You see them
But looked like important Negroes on the way to your funeral
Looked like important on the way to your auction
And let them chant the number and use an ivory to count your teeth
Steppen Fetchit
Remember Fetchit how we laughed
An all your school images giving flesh and giggling
With the ice high off his head
ya laugh anyway

I can see something in the way of our
I can see in the way of our selves
That's why I say the I do, you know it
But its else to you
Like job
morning when you got there and it was quiet
And the were yearning soft behind you
Yearning for that to come and give up his life
Standin' there dissed and broke and troubled

My mistake is I kept sayin' "that was proof that God exist"
And you told me, "nah, it was that the devil do"
But still, its I see something I hear things
I saw words in the white lying rag
said he was die poor and frustrated
That them dreams which you 'cross town
S'gonna die from work
There's garbage on the street that's you you ain't shit
And you believe it
Broke and all the time
You know some of the words but they ain't the ones
Your back on but ain't nothin' you can see
But I see something in the way of
to make us stumble
Something get us drunk noise and addicted to sadness
I see something and something 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 exist just you and if God made it
But we got to argue
And the light come down around us
Even we remember where the (light or mic??) is
Remember the Negro squinting at us through the
You seen what I see
The smile ain't a smile but teeth flying against our necks
You see something too but can't call its

it too bad y'all said
Ain't it too bad, such a nice boy always to his motha
say good morning to everybody on his way to work
But that last before he got locked up and hurt, real bad
I seen him walkin' toward his house and he smiling
And he didn't say hello
But I knew seen something
in the way of things that it worked on him like 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 what
You know what I'm talkin' about
"I seen something in the way of things"
And how the boys face looked that day before they took him away
The is? in that face and now, remember all them other faces
And all the many places you've him or the sister with his child
Wandering up the
Remember you seen in your own mirror and didn't for a second recognize
The face, own face
Straining to get out from the glass
Open your mouth like you was gon' say
Close your eyes and remember what you saw and what it made you feel
Now, don't you see else
Something cold and
Not invisible but blended the shadow criss-crossing the old man
by the drug store at the corner
With is resting uneasily on his folded arms
And the boy that smiled and the girl he went

And in my too
A craziness splitting them into the jet stream of a black bird
Wit his ass on
Or the solomNOTness of where we go to we gonna be happy

I something
I something
And you it too
You it too
You can't call it's name name name name name name name
