Nothing Before Me but Thang

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 (x7)

It's good to be hard
But it's hard to be good
When there is nothing before you but thang

I'm learning to live
And to live is to give
And 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

My mouth is getting dry
You know what I mean

My mind is getting so high 
Can you dig what I mean, yeah

Don't make me tell no lie
Can you dig what I mean?
There's nothing before me but thang (x10)

Good thang, bad thang
Old thang, new thang (nothin')
Good thang, bad thang

There's nothing before me but thang (nothin') (x7)

Thang here, thing there
Thang everywhere

There's nothing before me but thang (nothin') (x7)

Oh yeah, (nothin') (x5)

There's nothing before me but thang (nothin') 

Thang here, thing there
Thang everywhere
Nothin' (x8)
