Calling me a monster
calling us fake
No way no way no way
Calling me a monster
just ‘cause we say
We’re from the block where it
rains where we create barricades
Keep opposition away
That’s why we are
strapped with the K’s
Don’t get kidnapped
from your place
Cuz it could happen today
Not knowing how to behave
That is a sign that you may
Just loose your life what a waste
Your body found in a lake
You fucked around
and the fisherman found
you drowning for days
You know we come from a place
Where people smile but it is fake
How could they smile
if you look around they
are surrounded by pain
I’ve seen the sky turn to grey
It took the light from the day
It’s like the heads of the state
Ain’t comprehending the hate
That the oppressed generate
When they’ve been
working like slaves
To get some minimum wage
You turn around and you blame
Them for their anger and rage
Put them in shackles and chains
Because of what they became
WE ARE THE MONSTERS YOU MADE
Calling me a monster
calling us fake
You make the minotaur
the dinosaur wake
Calling me a monster
just ‘cause we say
No way no way no way
Calling me a monster
make no mistake
That there’s only so much
that you can take
La di da do di da do day
We are the monsters you made
I bet they thought it was cool
Probably thought we was fools
When we would break all the rules
And skip them classes in school
Because the teacher dem
teaching what the white man
dem teaching dem European
teachings in my African school
So fuck dem classes in school
Fuck mongo park and the fools
That said they found river niger
they’ve been lying to you
Aint no denying the truth
See what im tryin to do
Is draw the line
for the mothers crying
we’re dying as youths
Come walk a mile in my shoes
See if you smile at the truth
See if you digest your food
That’s when you might have a clue
Of what the fuck we go through
Your fucking lucky if you
Live through the day better
pray that God always
staying with you
Aint fucking safe anyday
the reaper ‘ll be coming for you
We need a change and it
aint no way ima take an excuse
My niggaz finding a way
Or fucking smile in the grave
This is the price that you pay
WE ARE THE MONSTERS YOU MADE
Calling me a monster
calling us fake
You make the minotaur
the dinosaur wake
Calling me a monster
just ‘cause we say
No way no way no way
Calling me a monster
make no mistake
That there’s only so
much that you can take
La di da do di da do day
We are the monsters you made
