Monsters You Made (feat. Chris Martin) (Clean) - Burna Boy/Chris Martin
If the government refused to develop the region
And continue the marginalization and injustice
The youth that's what coming after us
And it will be more brutal than what we have done
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
'Cause it could happen today
Not knowing how to behave
That is a sign that you may
Just lose your life what a waste
Your body found in a lake
You f**ked around and the fisherman found you drowning for days
You know we come from a place
Where people smile but it's 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 la-da-do di-da la-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 f**k dem classes in school
F**k mongo park and the fools
That said they found river Niger
They've been lying to you
Ain't no denying the truth
See what I'm 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 f**k we go through
Your f**king lucky if you
Live through the day better pray that God always staying with you
Ain't f**king safe anyday the reaper'll be coming for you
We need a change and it ain't no way Ima take an excuse
My n***as finding a way
Or f**king 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 la-da-do di-da la-do-day
We are the monsters you made
Since we met your people five hundred years ago
Look at us we have given everything
You are still taking
In exchange for that we have got nothing
Nothing
And you know it
But you just think that this is over now
Over where
Is it over
