Monsters You Made (feat. Chris Martin) - Burna Boy/Chris Martin.mp3

[00:18.767] Calling me a monster, calling us fake
[00:22.190] No way, no way, no way
[00:25.464] Calling me a monster, just ‘cause we say
[00:30.771] We’re from the block where it rains
[00:32.423] Where we create barricades
[00:34.130] Keep opposition away
[00:35.751] That’s why we are strapped with the K’s
[00:37.436] Don't get kidnapped from your place
[00:39.181] 'Cause it could happen today
[00:40.893] Not knowing how to behave
[00:42.484] That is a sign that you may
[00:44.199] Just lose your life what a waste
[00:45.833] Your body found in a lake
[00:47.536] You ****ed around and the fisherman found you drowning for days
[00:50.932] You know we come from a place
[00:52.536] Where people smile but it's fake
[00:54.310] How could they smile? If you look around they are surrounded by pain
[00:57.757] I've seen the sky turn to grey
[00:59.411] It took the light from the day
[01:01.080] It's like the heads of the state
[01:02.728] Ain't comprehending the hate
[01:04.470] That the oppressed generate
[01:06.143] When they've been working like slaves
[01:07.952] To get some minimum wage
[01:09.524] You turn around and you blame
[01:11.132] Them for their anger and rage
[01:12.796] Put them in shackles and chains
[01:14.501] Because of what they became
[01:16.215] We are the monsters you made
[01:19.531] Calling me a monster, calling us fake
[01:23.048] You make the minotaur the dinosaur wake
[01:26.238] Calling me a monster, just ‘cause we say
[01:30.009] No way, no way, no way
[01:32.991] Calling me a monster, make no mistake
[01:36.724] That there's only so much that you can take
[01:40.202] La-di-da, la-da-do, di-da, la-do-day
[01:43.449] We are the monsters you made
[01:44.966] I bet they thought it was cool
[01:46.636] Probably thought we was fools
[01:48.556] When we would break all the rules
[01:50.180] And skip them classes in school
[01:51.775] Because the teacher dem teaching what the white man dem teaching dem European teachings in my African school
[01:58.553] So **** dem classes in school
[02:00.144] **** mongo park and the fools
[02:01.784] That said they found river Niger
[02:03.474] They’ve been lying to you
[02:05.196] Ain't no denying the truth
[02:06.838] See what im tryin to do
[02:08.509] Is draw the line for the mothers crying, we’re dying as youths
[02:11.951] Come walk a mile in my shoes
[02:13.597] See if you smile at the truth
[02:15.310] See if you digest your food
[02:16.964] That’s when you might have a clue
[02:18.636] Of what the **** we go through
[02:20.357] Your ****ing lucky if you
[02:22.062] Live through the day, better pray that God always staying with you
[02:25.522] Ain't ****ing safe anyday, the reaper'll be coming for you
[02:28.745] We need a change and it ain't no way ima take an excuse
[02:32.081] My niggas finding a way
[02:33.938] Or ****ing smile in the grave
[02:35.676] This is the price that you pay
[02:37.348] We are the monsters you made
[02:40.526] Calling me a monster, calling us fake
[02:43.944] You make the minotaur the dinosaur wake
[02:47.350] Calling me a monster, just ‘cause we say
[02:50.919] No way, no way, no way
[02:54.194] Calling me a monster, make no mistake
[02:57.779] That there's only so much that you can take
[03:01.066] La-di-da, la-da-do, di-da, la-do-day
[03:04.613] We are the monsters you made
[03:06.207] Since we met your people five hundred years ago
[03:09.992] Look at us, we have given everything
[03:12.813] You are still taking
[03:15.560] In exchange for that, we have what?
[03:19.495] Nothing, nothing
[03:22.759] And you know it
[03:25.886] But you just think that this is over now
[03:28.707] Over with, is it over?
