Monsters You Made (feat. Chris Martin)

If the government refuse to develop the region
 And continue the marginalisation and injustice
 The youths and the next people coming after us
 But 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- 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 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- dem classes in school
 F- 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- we go through
 You're f- lucky if you
 Live through the day, better pray that God always staying with you
 Ain't f- safe anyday, the reaper'll be coming for you
 We need a change and it ain't no way I'ma take an excuse
 My n- finding a way
 Or f- 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 500 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 don't you think that this is over now?
 Over where?
 Is it over?
