Pray For Buffalo (feat. Kya)

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
