Thugz 'R' Us Lyrics

Thugz are us, thugs are us
Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus
Thugz are us, thugs are 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'
Fighting in the yard

We got wide-arsed hippie mums
We look smart but we want to be dumb

Thugz are us, thugs are us
Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus
Thugz are us, thugs are 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 want to be bad

Thugz are us, thugs are us
Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus
Thugz are us, thugs are 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 want to be black

Thugs!!

Thugz are us, thugs are us
Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus
Thugz are us, thugs are us
We don't want no trouble
Unless you make a fuss

Out in the suburbs
Life is gettin' tough

Necks are gettin' roughe
Down in the boy's school
Life if gettin' hard
Know what I'm sayin'
Fighting in the yard

We got wide-arsed hippie mums
We look smart but we want to be dumb

Thugz are us, thugs are us

Thugz are us, thugs are us

Thugz are us, thugs are 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 want to be black

Thugs!!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
