Comin through givin' up that evil ass East Side
Where the gangstas ride, it's a homicide
And I stay down for my crown on the daily (that's right)
Blastin' on these busta ass snoops, they can't fade me

Gangbang slang caine it's an "A" thang

[CHORUS]
Ready or not, here we go, servin' slobs off

And we been here for years got the turf sewed up
So if you thinkin' about creepin' nigga, think again

Crips don't die, we multiply, nigga don't ask why




Fuck you niggaz and your mommas and dead homies and everything nigga

Overall Meaning

The song "What We Celieve In" by Nationwide Rip Ridaz features three rappers: Twin Loc, Broncoe, and Big Freeze. The lyrics contain a lot of gang references and violent rhetoric, with each rapper professing their loyalty to their respective Crip gang from different parts of Los Angeles, including Avalon Gangsta Crip, Fudge Town Crip, and Franklin Square Crip. The chorus carries the message of serving "slobs" (Bloods) with violence, as the rappers express their readiness to shoot at their enemies.


Twin Loc's verse starts with a description of his gang and location, emphasizing his preparedness with an "extra clip" for his Glock pistol. He boasts about not caring about the consequences of his actions, comparing himself to Woody in Toy Story, "up to no goodie". He also makes a reference to gang slang: "gangbang slang caine, it's an 'A' thang."


Broncoe's verse starts with him introducing his gang and location, Fudge Town Crip in Watts, and his affiliation with the Rip Riders. He expresses his willingness to shoot at his enemies, referring to it as "rippin'," and again using gang slang. He also mentions his disdain for those on the other side of the gang conflict, saying he's not afraid to take them down.


Big Freeze's verse starts with him bragging about his firepower, a sixteen-shot gauge shotgun. He mentions his gang, Franklin Square Crip, and their rivalry with Bloods. He urges his listeners to watch out for him since he's always ready to shoot. He makes references to other infamous killers: Charles Manson and Kriss Kross, to stress the extent of his aggression towards his enemies.


The song's lyrics, with their violent content, reflect some of the realities of the gang culture in Los Angeles during the early 90s. This particular track was included on the 1995 album "Bangin' on Wax: Greatest Hits," which featured some of the best tracks from the original 1993 Bangin' on Wax album.
