1) Electronic artist Tim Koch;
2) An australian noise/experimental rock band from the mid to late 80s, formed by Tex Perkins (of Beasts of Bourbon and Cruel Sea fame) and Peter Read, sometimes with Lachlan Mcleod. The band released the infamous "Dad" single, among other vinyl-only releases on the Black Eye label.
Perkins and Peter Read formed Thug in Sydney in 1987 when Read's flatmate had a fascination for collecting & amassing electronic equipment. After using some of the gear on initial recordings in Read's home studio, Perkins was eager to take it to the stage. With the help of Lachlan McLeod and others, Thug became one of Sydney's most unusual and confrontational live acts. Thug's live sets would last twenty to twenty-five minutes, featuring dancers, theatrics, bizarre electronic equipment and -- at one performance -- an entire audience showered in flour. Each Thug gig would end with its members mock brawling amongst themselves; audience members also would participate from time to time. Sometimes it would get out of hand, during one such mock brawl, Perkins required stitches after landing on a broken glass someone had thrown onto the stage. Thug, along with Lubricated Goat and Kim Salmon & The Surrealists spearheaded a very overlooked and underrated era of Australian music in the late 80's. This output was released on the Red Eye Records offshoot Black Eye Records. Thug's debut 7" single was the legendary "Dad/Thug", an electronic affair which was an assault on the ears. The tracks from the Mechanical Ape / Proud Idiots Parade EP and the Electric Woolly Mammoth album were later released on CD as Everything is beautiful in its own way.
3) Scathing hardcore from Northern California, bro.
4) Progressive Metal group from Sarasota/Bradenton, Florida.
5) American hardcore/noise-rock/sludgecore band from Madison, Wisconsin.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you in the trap, all these rules apply (Listen nigga)
Keep it in your lap, not to the side (Yeah)
End up successful, all your cars glide (Gah)
Breathe easy, bitch I might just teach ya (might just teach ya)
Not a pleaser, I might Mickey Ds her
Top rope, I might John Cena (scene her)
Got in a nigga, aye, no meal
Momma duck eating good, like she 'posed to
Spent a dub on my teeth and my Ghost too
Spent a sixty on the bracelet call it old news
Spent a dime on the red carpet oh, oh
So many black chains on, look like a goatee
Pop pills every week
Your bitch gon' suck me, look like she don't got no teeth
She even suck it better than the time she ordered me
Bring a Molly, yeah I'll see
I'm smoking pack while you smoke weed
Just cause I'm signed, don't mean treat me
Ninth grade, quarterback, Washington High (Ninth grade)
When you in the trap, all these rules apply (Listen nigga)
Keep it in your lap, not to the side (Yeah)
End up successful, all your cars glide (Gah)
Breathe easy, bitch I might just teach ya (Might just teach ya)
Not a pleaser, I might Mickey Ds her
Top rope, I might John Cena (Scene her)
Got in a nigga, aye, no meal
Fifty bands on your head, my niggas take the charge
All of my niggas one thousand, they get it
Your niggas, you flexing, and fraudulent
Two bitches with me they ménaging
I fuck them, then smash them, put them on the market
I make them go cook and they bring me the money back
Move in silent like camouflagin'
Shoutout Skippa tha Flippa, came up from nickles
Green diamonds like a dill pickle
Everybody know that I'm in the field
Drinking and pouring a double seal
Remember the days when I would roll one
And taking trips across the country just for money
You fuck with my squad then they start dumping
Take the pot and slam dunk it, Tim Duncan
Ninth grade, quarterback, Washington High (Ninth grade)
When you in the trap, all these rules apply (Listen nigga)
Keep it in your lap, not to the side (Yeah)
End up successful, all your cars glide (Gah)
Breathe easy, bitch I might just teach ya (might just teach ya)
Not a pleaser, I might Mickey Ds her
Top rope, I might John Cena (scene her)
Got in a nigga, aye, no meal
These niggas be watching, they speculate
Feeling myself but no masturbation
I'm 22, rich with no education
The world's gonna end one day, read it in Revelations
Good girl she deserve a scholarship
The pistol like lighters, you know that I pocket it
These bitches be callin' my phone
And I'm making, I'm dabbing
And know my diamonds came in from Africa
Smoking on Salvia that came from El Salvador
Got on my Cartier eating on caviar
She be super licking on a nigga
Double down FN shooting out missiles
Cowards get attention like a nigga when he whistle
Them niggas caught you slipping cause you didn't have a pistol
OG gas bag and I flip it like a nickle
Two bitches with me nigga, call me Malcolm in the middle
Ninth grade, quarterback, Washington High (Ninth grade)
When you in the trap, all these rules apply (Listen nigga)
Keep it in your lap, not to the side (Yeah)
Been so successful, all your cars glide (Gah)
Breathe easy, bitch I might just teach ya (I might just teach ya)

Got in a nigga, aye, no meal
Ninth grade I was serving quarterpound
Trap rules, nigga scrap, jugging pounds
Make them move it like John Cena
Catch a nigga bitch while I'm eating
Diamonds on my neck, blinging
In the phantom opera leaning
Two double cup got me feigning
I dream of genie bitches in bikinis
They dreaming for the fettuccine
Pull up and drop my top off like Houdini
Giuseppe's on my feet, some foreign zebras
Motor fitted, dabbing in the Lee
Sit ya ass down like I'm Beanie Sigel
What's crackin', crippin' nigga, twisting fingers
Longway and Thugger jump in the nina
I slip in your club with the forty and nina
Look at his head call it buzzle bee
Smoking OG Moon Rocks that I mix with the Diesel
Gavanchi walking on the stars
Look at these bitches, just eat it up
Choke on the dick, she just clean it up
Pull up in a fuckin' Bentley truck
Longway bitch

In the chorus, Thug states that he might just teach listeners how to breathe easy, as he asserts that he is not a pleaser and may only visit certain women like Mickey Ds, which emphasizes his confidence and self-respect. Thug goes on to describe his expensive taste, mentioning the money he has spent on his teeth, Ghost, bracelet, and even the red carpet.
