Identical Deaths (feat. Danger Mouse)

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

Anger, keep out, danger
Keep out, danger
