Identical Deaths

[00:11.54] I was proven effective by clinical tests
[00:14.37] For livin' many lives, dyin' identical deaths
[00:17.57] I thought, "Why, how could this have ever been if I'm blessed?"
[00:20.38] Then I had a talk with God that was interview-esque
[00:23.33] He said, "Riq, as near as the west and far as the east
[00:26.33] There's a warrant for your arrest by the Karma police"
[00:29.18] The dharma was deep, I thought it was too dark to defeat
[00:32.17] But made it here to tell the story by the chalk of my teeth
[00:35.13] I'm a survivor, a thriver, a husband, and a father
[00:38.37] I rise with every morning and star in another saga
[00:41.12] Empire, mosque, fear of God or Balenciaga
[00:44.56] Viva to either La Résistance or La Raza
[00:47.40] I met the monster on a rooftop of the plaza
[00:50.47] The teleprompter said there's still an Oscar to conquer
[00:53.23] My witch doctor asked me what's blockin' my chakra
[00:56.36] I told him it was probably caffeine, chronic and vodka
[00:58.96] I need a word, but a sponsor that won't be heard at a concert
[01:02.31] I cried so many crocodile tears, my eyes hurt
[01:05.59] As I approached the altar, another convert
[01:08.43] If you could read my mind, you heed the signs first
[01:12.02] Anger, keep out, danger
[01:14.97] Keep out, danger
[01:16.22]
