Huh!
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
There's nothing before me but thang
There's nothing before me but thang
There's nothing before me but thang
There's nothing before me but thang
