10 Lil' Crips
East Side Chronicles: Unveiling the Streets' Symphony
Lyrics
10 lil' Crip Crip runnin' outside
Introduction to 10 members of the Crip gang running outside.
All from the turf and they bangin' out rides
They are all from the neighborhood ("turf") and driving around in cars, representing their affiliation.
Far from a scrub 'cause from the East Side
Highlighting they are not low-status individuals ("scrubs") and are from the East Side.
Where they don't die, they just multiply
Emphasizing the resilience of the East Side community; they don't die but instead increase in numbers.
So don't give them them a reason
Warning not to provoke them, as it may lead to violent retaliation, turning it into a dangerous time ("Crip season").
To turn it into *** season
-Don't give them them a reason
-Well 'cause they'll turn it into Crip season
-The gangsta's back, the bank is fat
Snoop Dogg's return, financial success, and disregard for those asking for favors or causing trouble.
The gangsta mac in a gangsta 'Lac
-Hmm, fools be like, ?Break off some cheese?
-Friends and enemies, oh *** please
-*** You thought who punked you up?
Addressing those who underestimated or challenged him, suggesting consequences for their actions.
Stop, you stuck too much, pop drop, you pluck
-It's all similar to gettin' laid
-On your back, on the mothaf*** case ***
-I grind for my shine, 'bout my business
Expressing determination and aggression in pursuing success, dismissing those who doubt him.
Lunatic on dis *** and I get ignorant
-Go on and proceed to *** with ease
-Wannabes, they can't believe how I leave
-Look into the mind of a *** that's crazy
Reflecting on a troubled mindset at a young age and asserting dominance over adversaries.
17 years old, still a baby
-Gangstas real, they pop the pill
-You *** back, young mothaf***, it's like that
-10 lil' Crip Crip runnin' outside
Reiteration of the presence of 10 Crips from the East Side, emphasizing their resilience.
All from the turf and they bangin' out rides

-Where they don't die, they just multiply
-So don't give them them a reason
Repeating the warning against giving reasons for conflict, as it could escalate into a dangerous situation.
To turn it into *** season
-Don't give them them a reason
-'cause they'll turn it into Crip season
-Wake up in the mornin' lookin' funny and ***
Waking up with a focus on financial success and perseverance in the face of challenges.
*** a honey dip 'cause I got money to get
-Ain't no books, ain't no help, ain't no road to dis
-Stay focused, young homie, that's the code to dis
-Keep a *** in your pocket when you tip through the town
Advising to be cautious and armed due to the many threats in the neighborhood, discussing the harsh realities of the street life.
'cause there's a million mothaf*** tryna get you down
-A lotta pain in this game, *** is the thang
-If your money right, then you might get you a chain
-But if your money is low, there's only one way to go
Highlighting the limited options for those with low funds and the potential for criminal activity to survive.
Jack a rapper at a local rap radio show
-So mean, so clean, Crip back to tha block
-Then brag to da homie, show 'em what you got
-It's a gangsta jack and gangsta plaque
Boasting about the gang's ability to steal and acquire riches, challenging stereotypes about gangsta rap.
And they thought we just gangsta rap
