Black Thought, Danger Mouse - Identical Deaths lyrics
[Black Thought, Danger Mouse - Identical Deaths lyrics]
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
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 starvin' 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
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
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 starvin' 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
