Something in the Way of (In Town)

In x3

Something in the way of
Something will quit and won't start
Something you know but can't
Can't get along with
Like
on top of the car peering through the windshield for his cue
Something entirely fictitious and
That creeps your path hallowing your evil ways
Like they were passing yourself not smiling
The dead guy you saw me talking to is boss
I tried to put a spell on him but his is illiterate

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

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

My mistake is I kept "that was proof that God didn't exist"
And you me, "nah, it was proof that the devil do"
But still, its I see something I hear things
I saw words in the boy's 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 the right 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 from and addicted to sadness
I see something and feel stalking us
Like and ugly floating at our back calling 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 squinting at us through the cage
You seen I see too?
The smile ain't a smile but teeth flying against 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 nice boy always kind to his
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 house and he smiling
And he didn't even say
But I knew he'd seen
Something in the way of things it worked on him like it do in will
And he kept faster and faster away from us
And never even muttered a
Then the next day he was
You wanna know
You know 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 face and remember now, remember all them other faces
And all the many places you've seen him or the sister his child
Wandering up the
what you seen in your own mirror and didn't for a second recognize
The face, your own
Straining to get out behind the glass
your mouth like you was gon' say somethin'
Close your eyes and remember what you saw and what it made you feel
Now, don't you see something
Something cold and
Not invisible but blended with the shadow 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 with

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