Identical Deaths

[Verse]

I was proven effective by clinical tests

For livin' many lives, dyin' identical deaths

I thought, "Why? How could this have ever been if I'm blessed?"

Then I had a talk with God that was interview-esque

He said, "'Riq, as near as the west and far as the east

There's a warrant for your arrest by the karma police"

The dharma was deep, I thought it was too dark to defeat

But made it here to tell the story by the chalk of my teeth

I'm a survivor, a thriver, a husband, and a father

I rise with every morning and star in another saga

Empire, mosque, Fear of God or Balenciaga

Viva to either La Résistance or La Raza

I met the monster on a rooftop of the plaza

The teleprompter said there's still an Oscar to conquer

My witch doctor asked me what's blockin' my chakra

I told him it was probably caffeine, chronic and vodka

I need a word, but a sponsor that won't be heard at a concert

I cried so many crocodile tears, my eyes hurt

As I approached the altar, another convert

If you could read my mind, you heed the signs first

[Refrain]

Anger, keep out, danger

Keep out, danger

[Instrumental Outro]
