[Chorus: Tim Armstrong]
Gangsters and thugs
Criminals and hoods
Some of my friends sell records
Some of my friends sell drugs

[Verse 1: Tim Armstrong]
You stand by me, I stand by you
If there's a fight, I'm the one to come to
Good and bad times we've been through
You got my back and I got yours too
All of my life you are in my crew
I'd do anything for you
Beat someone black and blue
Black and blue and I'd do it for you

[Chorus: Tim Armstrong]
Gangsters and thugs
Criminals and hoods
Some of my friends sell records
Some of my friends sell drugs

[Chorus: Tim Armstrong]
Gangsters and thugs
Criminals and hoods
Some of my friends sell records
Some of my friends sell drugs

[Verse 2: Skinhead Rob]
Tried to tell 'em leave us alone
Still riding with them fellas down that unknown road
There ain't no telling, I told 'em before
Wouldn't listen, no more bitching, leave 'em all on the floor
I know this label's funny, they take 'til it hurts
That's why I still got that nina and I still got that work
Tomorrow ain't promised, I'll smoke it today
That zone will run you five and I'ma on my way

[Chorus: Tim Armstrong]
Gangsters and thugs
Criminals and hoods
Some of my friends sell records
Some of my friends sell drugs

[Verse 3: Skinhead Rob]
It's official, I'm destined to fail
And I ain't trying to catch no case, I got no money for bail
I'm hurting up in the E.R. before New Year's Eve
Said there's nothing we can do and we suggest that you leave
30 G's, no insurance, they don't give a damn
Back to breaking out the scale, break it down into grams
They say you can't win for losing, I swear it's the truth
Same shit, different day, man, I swear what's the use?

[Verse 4: Tim Armstrong]
It got us paid with good intentions
I got dirty in two processions
I make a living, ain't got no pension
For transcriptions of my life on tension
The world is mine, no limit, I can do it
Every drama in life, I've been through it
Even if I had it good and I blew it
Regret nothing, move on and say fuck it

[Chorus: Tim Armstrong]
Gangsters and thugs
Criminals and hoods
Some of my friends sell records
Some of my friends sell drugs

[Chorus: Tim Armstrong]
Gangsters and thugs
Criminals and hoods
Some of my friends sell records
Some of my friends sell drugs
