Something in the Way of (In Town)

In x3

in the way of things
Something that will quit and start
Something you know but stand
Can't know get with
death
Riding on top of the car peering through the for his cue
Something entirely fictitious and
That across your path hallowing your evil ways
Like were yourself passing yourself not smiling
The guy you saw me talking to is your boss
I tried to put a spell on him but his spirit is

I know things you know and you don't know
'cept I saw something in the way of
grinning at me and I wanted to know, was it funny?
Was it so funny it followed me the street
everybody like the good humor man
But an got the taste of good humor but no ice cream
It was dat
Me talking across people the houses
And not seeing the beings crowding around me ice picks
You could see
But they looked like important on the way to your funeral
like important jiggaboos on the way to your auction
And let them chant the number and use an pointer to count your teeth
Remember Fetchit
Remember Steppen how we laughed
An all your school images giving flesh and giggling
With the ice high off his head
Made ya laugh

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

My is I kept sayin' "that was proof that God didn't 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 boy's rag
he was gonna die poor and frustrated
That them dreams which you 'cross town
S'gonna die from over
There's garbage on the that's tellin' you you ain't shit
And you almost it
Broke and all the time
You know some of the words but ain't the right ones
cable back 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 addicted to
I see something and feel stalking us
and ugly thing floating at our back calling us names
You see it and it too
But you say it got a right to exist just like you and if God it
But we got to argue
And the light gon' down around us
Even we remember where the (light or mic??) is
Remember the squinting at us through the cage
You seen what I see
The that ain't a smile but teeth flying against our necks
You see too but can't call its name

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 time he got locked up and hurt, real bad
I seen him walkin' toward his house and he smiling
And he even say hello
But I knew he'd seen
Something in the way of things that it worked on him like it do in
And he kept marching faster and faster from us
And never even muttered a
Then the next day he was
You wanna know
You wanna know what I'm about
Sayin' "I something in the way of things"
And how the boys looked that day just before they took him away
The is? in that face and remember now, remember all them other
And all the many places you've seen him or the sister with his
up the street
Remember what you seen in your own mirror and didn't for a second
The face, your own
to get out from behind the glass
Open your like you was gon' say somethin'
Close your eyes and remember what you saw and what it made you feel
Now, you see something else
Something and ugly
Not invisible but with the shadow criss-crossing the old man
by the drug store at the corner
With is head resting on his folded arms
And the boy that smiled and the girl he went

And in my too
A waving craziness splitting them into the jet stream of a black
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
