Sadboy Loko's song Gang Signs is a reflection of his affiliation with a street gang and the sense of community that comes with it. The opening lines, "Everybody go and put ya hands up high, Put ya hands up high," serve as a call to action for those who share a similar background or experience. The gesture of lifting one's hands is a common symbol of surrender or submission, but in this context, it also represents a display of solidarity and the start of a shared experience.
The repeated phrase, "Gang signs up in the sky," serves as a reminder of the shared culture and values of the gang. It's a nod to the universal language of street gangs and the symbols and signs they use to communicate with one another. Loko's own affiliations come through in lyrics such as "G's up y'all better get it right higher than the fever that you get when you get," which speaks to the high stakes of gang life and the intense loyalty and commitment it requires.
Overall, Sadboy Loko's Gang Signs is a powerful anthem for those who have experienced the camaraderie and danger of street life. It's a testament to the bonds of brotherhood formed through struggle and adversity, and a reminder of the risks and rewards that come with it.

@-109___+hol AJAJAJAJAJAJA🤣vete a terminar la escuela o de plano trata de no hacer gala de la ignorancia!!
Pero te voy a dar un poco de cátedra para que te eduques chamaco. Según tú chicanos está alejado de México nada más por usar un lowrider Ben davies Dickies?? Para ti esa cosa es cultura?? Aunque te arda el asterisco mijo ustedes llevan sangre mexicana y déjate de esa jalada "que ni soy de aquí ni soy de allá"
Sabes lo que es cultura?? Los vatos del vídeo de rap llevan tatuado charras, (algo como la charrería patrimonio inmaterial de la humanidad) eso es cultura, pero qué raro que yo no lleven tatuado Elvis Presley.
Pero por otro lado llevan tatuado las pirámides y obras de antiguas culturas que se asentaron en lo que hoy es México, !!adivina!!! también patrimonio de la humanidad!!.. eso es cultura. ¿¿Y porque entonces no veo que lleven tatuado el monte rushmore??? jajajaja.
Así que déjate de andar de 🤡 que aunque te arda el asterisco los chicanos son más mexicanos que arios, y no es por presumir y tampoco por ser mexicano, sino porque la cultura de México escucha bien y lee bien tarolas CULTURA!!! Es superior a la eeuu
Así que deja de hacerte el "ario" que de seguro te has de llamar Felipe
che vato🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Verse 1]
E's up, yup better get it right
Higher than the fever that you get when you get a bite
My life's on the edge, like the line on your forehead
Give a fuck I'll use a butter knife to get more bread
Time's up, time's rough, but I couldn't get enough
See what flashes your eyes boy when you're getting stuck
Who's what? whose who?, who's there? who's not?
You will find out who is real when you get caught
Play smart, have heart, be about your money
Keep it gutter muthafucker and keep it 1 hundred
Real recognize real, fuck how you get meals
If this 9 to 5 don't work then it's back to drug deal
Gotta get the cheddar, gotta get the cheddar
Gotta get the cash uhh, even if it's illegal
Knock on the door got me starrin' at my peak hole
They can try and find it, it's stashed up my cheeks though

[Verse 2]
Back up, far, cause it gets worse
Every single rider gonna feel me by the next verse
Been cursed, done dirt, boy had to earn stripes
Kinda like a pilot cause I always had to take flight
Gang fight, late nights, yeah I was in 'em
Head up chest out like a cobra with some venom
Deadly get me, never been afraid of death
All up in the mix like a dick, till my last breath
Gang signs up, what? go ahead & represent
If you're from a hood better flash your muthafucking set
Tatted up head, tatted up chest, tatted up legs G
I'm tatted up everywhere, hand grippin'
Walking with no shirt like I fucking care
Let 'em stare, just don't stare long or just be aware
Playing fair, if you don't it's all good I got a pair
Meanwhile on the side with a 9 hoping that you dare

Last one, ready? then here it comes
Signs like a bum cause I always had to get me some
That with drugs, just saw my kids, aye what you need?
Had it raw or I had it fresh baked
I'm a hustler, everything I touch gotta double up
Everything I grab I had double up, a pair of tits & a big 'ol butt
And she does what I say, yeah baby girl knows whats up
So rough so tough its the way we living
Everybody lookin' at me like what's he dealing?
No squealing, who's fiending? dog I got you G
Next time you pay double so you know it ain't free
Bling bling, dope fiends bring that jewelry too
I don't need to wear none, still fucked her & her crew
What it do? if you knew you would act the same
But since you don't, here's a flash just remember my gang
