In ScHoolboy Q's "Gang Gang," the lyrics describe the rapper's affiliation with gang culture and the success that comes with it. He mentions his status as a "hood legend" and brags about his ability to "whip clean, dope boy." The repeated refrain of "gang shit" reinforces the idea of the loyalty and brotherhood that comes with being part of a gang. The lyrics also touch on themes of crime, with references to AKs and beating cases. The rapper also acknowledges the danger that comes with this lifestyle, with lines like "shoot up fed but I ain't Kobe" and "no no, deuce to be on pace to lose."
The chorus repeats the same four lines, emphasizing the importance of gang culture and the pride that comes with belonging to a group. The last line, "nine spark, blackout," suggests the violent nature of gang life and the willingness to resort to extreme measures. The overall message of the song seems to be a celebration of the rapper's gang affiliation and the community it provides, as well as a warning about the risks and consequences that come with it.
