nothing before me but thang

here i am

and i'm out here amongst them

and there is nothing before me but thang

my mom once said

son you got to be cool

'cause there is nothing before you but thang

now how in the hell

can i be a good boy

when there is nothing before you but thang

the good is bad

but the badder the better

when there is nothing before you but thang

my mouth is getting dry

you know what i mean

my mind is getting so high

can you dig what i mean

don't make me tell no lie

can you dig what i mean

there's nothing before me but thang

there's nothing before me but thang

there's nothing before me but thang

it's good to be hard

but it's good to be good

when there is nothing before you but thang

i've learned to live

and to give is to live

when there is nothing before you but thang

turn right turn left

when you can't help yourself

when there is nothing before you but thang

there's good there's bad

but a thang is a thang

and there is nothing before you but thang

there's nothing before mo but thang

there's nothing before me but thang
