A Whole New Thing

(album: A Whole New Thing - 1977)

It's the beginning of a whole new thing
It's the beginning, yes it is, of a whole new thing
My head is together and I'm feeling queasy
Believe me when I tell you people that it was never easy

I couldn't create cause some people all around me didn't want to see me make it
Me and my friend talking deep within saying that we can't afford to take it
I know in life everybody gets a chance most times but people blow it
But I've got a field full of green green grass, sit back and watch me grow it

It's the beginning, yes it is, of a whole new thing
It's the beginning of a whole new thing
My head is together and I'm feeling queasy
Believe me when I tell you people that it was never easy

They lock all the doors and do away the keys, said I had to make a choice
Said that this was a family affair only I didn't have a voice
They kicked me around and they called me names, said son, you'll never make it
But I emerged like I knew that I could, from there I was able to shake it

Me and my friends, we party hardy
