Life Of A Gangsta (feat. M&m & T-dubb)

Title: Loko Is Dead
Chorus: Everybody know that the loko is dead/ But somewhat alive no tears to be shed. Everybody knows that Tha Loko is Dead/ I died on the Earth but alive in the universe (2x Repeat)

Verse1: Now everybody know that tha loko is dead/ Gone from the earth but no tears to be shed. Somewhere free with thee chakaraz unlocked/ Forever will I be gone ain't no coming back on the spot. Will I make my return like the Messiah thats written in a folktale/ CUz living on this earth and nothing but eternal hell. No GPS or satellite can even track me/ cuz IM somewhere alive in another part of the Galaxy. Speaking telepathically cuz Im alive spiritually/ Physically EMotionally not bothered by emotions G. I reached my potential as Neter the one with self/ Im one with nature And not one with anyone else. The world is doomed by the Champions thats the Rothschilds/ Putnam vs them that shit kinda make me smile. Cracka vs Cracka Greed is the title they are fighting for/ Which means I rather be dead then witness a war.
Chorus: Everybody know that the loko is dead/ But somewhat alive no tears to be shed. Everybody knows that Tha Loko is Dead/ I died on the Earth but alive in the universe (2x Repeat)

Verse2: Turmoil is being fractured into the depths of life/ The pain will be sharp like the blade of a butcher knife. My soul is to be free away from the fucking earth/ Cuz this is the reason why I be 6 feet in the dirt. But may my spirit take me to another dimension/ to witness a lot of shit television mentioned. Thats real as it comes ideas are only sparked/ from actual events now take that shit to heart. Where is the proof written in his-story book/ Somewhere floating through virtual dimensions for you to look. A mind is a terrbible thing to waste so I been told/ May the the truth be told instead of being sold. My existence on this earth has been an ether to mind/ the body and soul looks for the peace but hard to find. I guess thats the way life goes for the Ne-g-ro/ Im dead on the earth the universe where u find me tho
Chorus: Everybody know that the loko is dead/ But somewhat alive no tears to be shed. Everybody knows that Tha Loko is Dead/ I died on the Earth but alive in the universe (2x Repeat)

Verse3: No sucidial attempts to be made/ Assassinate the character alive in me with a blade. Death can't consume if I already been consumed/ Life played the role of death and that is why doomed. If I died in your eyes will you see that Im alive/ You second life lived through your name while u died. So Im dead on this earth but alive in the universe/ is words to dissect to comprehend what I said first. I rather be alive through an afterlife through the mouths/ of those who pretend to wonder of my whereabouts. So miss me with the tears cuz nobody show how much that they really care/ may the ghosts hiding in desolated spaces see me bro. People say they miss me but when alive I wasn't even noticed/ I even screamed for help but all those words were really hopeless. But now that Im gone you begin to let them tears fall/ Bullshit written over your face FUCK ALL Y'ALL

Chorus: Everybody know that the loko is dead/ But somewhat alive no tears to be shed. Everybody knows that Tha Loko is Dead/ I died on the Earth but alive in the universe (2x Repeat)
