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 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 hallowing your evil ways
Like they yourself passing yourself not smiling
The dead guy you saw me talking to is your
I to put a spell on him but his spirit is illiterate

I know things you know and nothing you know
'cept I saw something in the way of
Something at me and I wanted to know, was it funny?
Was it so it followed me down the street
Greeting everybody the good humor man
But an got the taste of good humor but no ice cream
It was dat
Me across people into the houses
And not the beings crowding around me with ice picks
You could see
But they like important Negroes on the way to your funeral
Looked like jiggaboos on the way to your auction
And let chant the number and use an ivory pointer to count your teeth
Steppen Fetchit
Remember Steppen how we laughed
An all your Sunday school images giving and giggling
With the ice high off his head
ya laugh anyway

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

My mistake is I kept sayin' "that was that God didn't exist"
And you me, "nah, it was proof that the devil do"
But still, its like I see I hear things
I saw words in the boy's lying rag
said he was gonna die and frustrated
That them dreams walk which you 'cross
S'gonna die from over
There's 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 ain't the right ones
Your cable back on but ain't you can see
But I see in the way of things
Something to us stumble
Something get us drunk noise 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 right to exist just like you and if God it
But we got to argue
And the light gon' come down us
Even we remember where the (light or mic??) is
Remember the Negro squinting at us the cage
You seen I see too?
The smile that ain't a smile but teeth flying our necks
You see something too but can't call its

Ain't it too bad y'all
Ain't it too bad, such a boy always kind to his motha
Always say good morning to 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 seen
Something in the way of things that it on him like it do in will
And he kept marching faster and faster away us
And never even a word
the next day he was gone
You wanna know
You wanna what I'm talkin' about
"I seen something in the way of things"
And how the boys face looked that day just they took him away
The is? in that face and remember now, all them other faces
And all the many places you've seen him or the sister his child
up the street
Remember what you seen in your own and didn't for a second recognize
The face, own face
Straining to get out behind the glass
Open your mouth like you was say somethin'
Close your eyes and remember you saw and what it made you feel like
Now, you see something else
Something cold and
Not invisible but blended with the shadow the old man
Squatting by the store at the corner
is head resting uneasily on his folded arms
And the boy that and the girl he went with

And in my too
A waving 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
