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 beforo you but thang There's nothing before mo but thang There's nothing before me but thang
