Pray For Buffalo ft. Kya Lyrics

Uh

They say a setback

Is set up for a comeback

But these comebacks looking more like a flashbacks

Wish I could fast forward

Fast forward

To the better days

A setback

Is set up for a comeback

But these comebacks looking more like a flashbacks

Wish I could fast forward

Fast forward

To the better days

Classism

Racism

Placeism

Play victim

What they saying to us when we crying out for some help

They tell us

Pray to God

Work a job

Go hard

Never sob

You ain't winning till you make a move for yourself

Ok, ok

Understanding self sufficiency is pure gold

But how we racing if the handicap is 10 fold

Gotta wrestle this oppression tryna break molds

Still we buy what they supply I call it game sold

Information hidden in scriptures

Gives clarity to this picture

The wilderness where we venture

Try taming all these guerillas in the midst of a depression

Decisions we second guessing

Calling upon the Reverend

Need intercessory blessings

We all, setup to fail

If you believe it, it's true

Shooters mimicking Dylan Roof

Got me believing it too

So every night I ask the Lord

Show us a better road

And send my love and condolence to Buffalo

The place I call home

Pray for my city

Pray for my city

They say a setback

Is set up for a comeback

But these comebacks looking more like a flashbacks

Wish I could fast forward

Fast forward

To the better days

A setback

Is set up for a comeback

But these comebacks looking more like a flashbacks

Wish I could fast forward

Fast forward

To the better days

Seeing tragedy after tragedy, like picking a scab

Still blaming the crabs

For buckets none of us ever had

No time to be sad

Gotta pay for lights and for gas

Cost of essentials barely leaves you with a dollar to stash

Watch us Limbo under poverty lines

It's all stats

Hustla's stepping on cracks, easing pressure off moms back

Living vicariously through Benny Conway and West

I know this record industry is a mess so, God Bless

Got me zoning writing these poems

Cause I need a release

Hoping Celestine is resting in peace

And all the victims of the Tops shooting

Fast forward to a blizzard

Goofy's out looting

Feeling helpless got me questioning what I'm doing

This drama I can't stand it

Knowing that the system is plotting to take advantage

Don't wanna throw my hand in

Somehow its God's planning so we heal and still

Send up a Prayer for Damar Hamlin

Pray for my city

They say a setback

Is set up for a comeback

But these comebacks looking more like a flashbacks

Wish I could fast forward

Fast forward

To the better days

A setback

Is set up for a comeback

But these comebacks looking more like a flashbacks

Wish I could fast forward

Fast forward

To the better days

The better days that we pray for

Pray for my city

We've been dealing with calamity still

People dying

Families crying

Feels like Amityville

Waves crashing

Got us wishing that the water was still

Crews clashing

Tools blasting

Going hard for the thrill

Tear stains fill pillowcases

Cases go unsolved

Pray for my city

And pray for all my people

Who got it hard

Amen
