Identical Deaths

(albüm: Cheat Codes - 2022)

I was proven effective by clinical tests
For living many lives, dying 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, our daughter was too dark with 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 they're starving 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 blocking 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
