Something in the Way of (In Town)

In x3

in the way of things
Something that will quit and won't
Something you know but can't
Can't get along with
Like
Riding on top of the car peering the windshield for his cue
entirely fictitious and true
That creeps across your path your evil ways
Like they were yourself passing 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
'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 the street
everybody like the good humor man
But an they got the taste of humor but no ice cream
It was dat
Me across people into the houses
And not seeing the beings crowding around me with ice
You could see
But they looked like important on the way to your funeral
Looked important jiggaboos on the way to your auction
And let them chant the number and use an pointer to count your teeth
Steppen Fetchit
Remember Fetchit how we laughed
An all Sunday school images giving flesh and giggling
the ice pick high off his head
Made ya laugh

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 something to you
that job
This when you got there and it was quiet
And the machines were soft behind you
Yearning for that nigga to come and up his life
Standin' there bein' dissed and and troubled

My mistake is I kept sayin' "that was that God didn't exist"
And you told me, "nah, it was proof the devil do"
But still, its like I see 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 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 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 from noise and addicted to sadness
I see something and something stalking us
Like and ugly thing floating at our back calling us
You see it and it too
But you say it got a to exist just like you and if God made it
But then we got to
And the light gon' come around us
Even we remember where the (light or mic??) is
Remember the Negro squinting at us through the
You seen I see too?
The smile that ain't a smile but teeth flying against our
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
Always say 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 and he wasn't smiling
And he even say hello
But I knew he'd something
Something in the way of things that it worked on him like it do in
And he kept marching faster and away from us
And even muttered a word
the next day he was gone
You wanna know
You know what I'm talkin' about
Sayin' "I seen in the way of things"
And how the boys face looked 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 his child
Wandering up the
Remember you seen in your own mirror and didn't for a second recognize
The face, your own
to get out from behind the glass
Open mouth like you was gon' say somethin'
your eyes and remember what you saw and what it made you feel like
Now, you see something else
Something cold and
Not invisible but blended with the 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 he went with

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 know we 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
