Something in the Way of (In Town)

In x3

Something in the way of
that will quit and won't start
Something you know but stand
know get along with
Like
on top of the car peering through the windshield for his cue
Something entirely fictitious and
creeps across your path hallowing your 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 know
'cept I saw in the way of things
Something at me and I wanted to know, was it funny?
Was it so funny it followed me down the
Greeting everybody the good humor man
But an they got the taste of good humor but no ice
It was dat
Me talking people into the houses
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 your
And let them chant the number and use an ivory to count your teeth
Remember Fetchit
Steppen Fetchit how we laughed
An all Sunday school images giving flesh and giggling
With the ice pick off his head
Made ya anyway

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

My mistake is I kept "that was proof that God didn't exist"
And you told me, "nah, it was proof the devil do"
But still, its like I see something I hear
I saw words in the white boy's rag
said he was gonna die and frustrated
That dreams walk which you 'cross town
S'gonna die from over
There's garbage on the street that's tellin' you you shit
And you almost it
Broke and 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
Something to us stumble
Something get us from noise and addicted to sadness
I see something and feel 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 exist like you and if God made it
But then we got to
And the light gon' come around us
Even though we where the (light or mic??) is
the Negro squinting at us through the cage
You seen what I see
The smile that ain't a smile but teeth 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 kind to his
say good 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 wasn't
And he didn't say hello
But I knew he'd something
Something in the way of things that it worked on him it do in will
And he kept marching and faster away from us
And even muttered a word
Then the day he was gone
You wanna what
You wanna know what I'm about
"I seen something in the way of things"
And how the boys face that day just before they took him away
The is? in face and remember now, remember all them other faces
And all the many places you've him or the sister with his child
Wandering up the
Remember what you seen in your own and didn't for a second recognize
The face, own face
to get out from behind the glass
Open your mouth you was gon' say somethin'
Close your and remember what you saw and what it made you feel like
Now, you see something else
Something cold and
Not but blended with the shadow criss-crossing the old man
Squatting by the drug at the corner
With is head 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 of where we go to know we gonna be happy

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