Thugz r us, thugs r us
Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus
Thugz r us, thugs r us
We don't want no trouble
Unless you make a fuss
Out in the suburbs
Life is gettin' tough
Me and my posse
Necks are gettin' roughe
Down in the boy's school
Life if gettin' hard
Know what i'm sayin'
Fighiting in the yard
We got wide-arsed hippie mums
We look smart but we wanna be dumb
Thugz r us, thugs r us
Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus
Thugz r us, thugs r us
We don't want no trouble
Unless you make a fuss
I got some mash-ups
With Snoop' and Dr Dre
I play 'em louder
When my dad's away
We got a Volvo
And plastic chandeliers
Know what i'm sayin'
It's boring me to tears
We got tight-arsed drippy dads
We look good good but we wanna be bad
Thugz r us, thugs r us
Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus
Thugz r us, thugs r us
We don't want no trouble
Unless you make a fuss
We got some beer bu we want some crack
We look white but we wanna be black
THUGS R US!!
