In town In town In town
Something in the way of things Something that will quit and won't start Something you know but can't stand Can't know get along with, like death Riding on top of the car peering through the windshield for his cue
Something entirely fictitious and true That creeps across your path hallowing your evil ways Like they were yourself, passing yourself, not smiling The dead guy you saw me talking to is your boss I tried to put a spell on him but his spirit is illiterate
I know things you know and nothing you don't know Except I saw something in the way of things Something grinning at me and I wanted to know, was it funny? Was it so funny? It followed me down the street Greeting everybody like the good humor man
But they got the taste of good humor but no ice cream It was like that Me talking across people into the houses And not seeing the beings crowding around me with ice picks You could see them
But they looked like important Negroes on the way to your funeral Looked like important jiggaboos on the way to your auction And let them chant the number And use an ivory pointer to count your teeth Remember Steppen Fetchit
Remember Steppen Fetchit how we laughed On all your Sunday school images giving flesh and giggling With the ice pick high over his head Made you laugh anyway
I can see something in the way of ourselves I can see something in the way of ourselves That's why I say the things I do, you know it But it's something else to you, like that job
This morning when you got there and it was quiet And the machines were yearning soft behind you Yearning for that nigga to come and give up his life Standin' there bein' dissed and broke and troubled
My mistake is I kept sayin', "That was proof, God didn't exist" And you told me, "Nah, it was proof that the Devil do" But still, it's like I see something, I hear things I saw words in the white boy's lying rag Said, "He was gonna die poor and frustrated" That them dreams walk which you 'cross town Is gonna die from over work
There's garbage on the street that's tellin' you, "You ain't shit" And you almost believe it Broke and mistaken all the time You know some of the words but they ain't the right ones You cable back on but ain't nothin' you can see But I see something in the way of things
Something to make us stumble Something get us drunk from noise and addicted to sadness I see something and feel something stalking us Like a ugly thing floating at our back calling us names You see it and hear it too But you say, "It got a right to exist just like you" And if God made it
But then we got to argue And the light gonna come down around us Even though we remember where the light is Remember the Negro squinting at us through the cage You seen what I see too The smile that ain't a smile but teeth flying against our necks You see something too but can't call its name
"Ain't it too bad", y'all said Ain't it too bad, such a nice boy, always kind to his mother Always say, "Good morning" to everybody on his way to work But that last time before he got locked up and hurt real bad I've seen him walkin' toward his house and he wasn't smiling And he didn't even say, "Hello"
But I knew he'd seen something Something in the way of things that it worked on him like it do in will And he kept marching faster and faster away from us And never even muttered a word Then the next day he was gone
You wanna know what You wanna know what I'm talkin' about Sayin', "I've seen something in the way of things" And how the boys face looked that day just before they took him away? There is in that face and remember now, remember all them other faces And all the many places you've seen him or the sister with his child Wandering up the street
Remember what you've seen in your own mirror And didn't for a second recognize the face, your own face Straining to get out from behind the glass Open your mouth like he was gonna say somethin' Close your eyes and remember what you saw And what it made you feel like
Now, don't you see something else Something cold and ugly Not invisible but blended with the shadow criss-crossing the old man Squatting by the drug store at the corner With his head resting uneasily on his folded arms And the boy that smiled and the girl he went with
And in my eyes too A waving craziness splitting them into the jet stream of a black bird With his ass on fire Or the solomnotness of where we go to know, we gonna be happy
I've seen something I've seen something And you've seen it too You've seen it too You just can't call its name Name Name Name ...
