Monsters You Made

             F                  
Calling me a monster, calling us 
    Gm
fake
    Dm
No way, no way, no way
              F                    
Calling me a monster just 'cause we
  Gm
 said

[Verse]
               Gm
We're from the block where it rains
         Eb          F
Where we create barricades
          Gm
Keep opposition away
                Eb             F
That's why we strapped with AK's
               Gm
Don't get kidnapped from your place
                  Eb        F
'Cause it could happen today
            Gm
Not knowing how to behave
          Eb               F
That is a sign that you may
               Gm
Just lose your life, what a waste
          Eb             F
Your body found in a lake
           Gm
You fucked around and the fisherman
          Eb              F
Found you drowning for days
               Gm
You know we come from a place
             Eb                  F
Where people smile, but it's fake
               Gm
How could they smile?
                         Eb        
If you look around, they surrounded
    F
 by pain
              Gm
I've seen the sky turn to grey
            Eb               F
It took the light from the day
              Gm
It's like the heads of the state
            Eb              F
Ain't comprehending the hate
           Gm
That the oppressed generate
                  Eb          
When they've been working like 
   F
slaves
            Gm
To get some minimum wage
          Eb              F
You turn around and you blame
               Gm
Them for their anger and rage
            Eb                 F
Put them in shackles and chains
           Gm
Because of what they became
           Eb              F
We are the monsters you made

Eb           F                   
Calling me a monster, calling us 
    Gm
fake
             Dm                    
You make the Minotaur, the dinosaur
    Eb

             F                     
Calling me a monster just 'cause we

          Gm

             Dm                    
That there's only so much that you 
       Eb F
can take
   Gm      Dm
We are the monsters you made


[Verse]

           Gm
I bet they thought it was cool
         Eb                  F
Probably thought we was fools
              Gm
When we would break all the rules
              Eb              F
And skip them classes in school
            Gm
Because the teacher dem teaching
         Eb                   F
What the white man dem teaching
       Gm
Dem European teachings
       Eb            F
In my African school
            Gm
So fuck the classes in school
           Eb                F
Fuck Mungo Park and the fool
               Gm
That said they found river Niger
             Eb          F
They've been lying to you
           Gm
Ain't no denying the truth
             Eb          F
See what I'm tryin' to do
            Gm
Is draw the line for the mothers 
crying
       Eb             F
We're dying as youths
            Gm
Come walk a mile in my shoes
           Eb                F
See if you smile at the truth
           Gm
See if you digest your food
                Eb              F
That's when you might have a clue
            Gm
Of what the fuck we go through
               Eb          F
You're fucking lucky if you
                 Gm
Live through the day, better pray
                Eb              F
That God always staying with you
              Gm
Ain't fuckin' safe, any day
                 Eb            F
The reaper'll be coming for you
            Gm
We need a change and it ain't
            Eb             F
no way I'ma take an excuse
          Gm
My niggas findin' a way
           Eb                F
Or fuckin' smile in the grave
            Gm
This is the price that you pay
           Eb                F
We are the monsters you made

N.C
Since we met you people five hundred
 years ago
N.C
Look at us, we have given everything
N.C
You are still taking
N.C
In exchange for that, we have got 
nothing
N.C
Nothing
N.C
And you know it
N.C
But don't you think that this is 
over now?
N.C
Over where?
N.C
Is it over?
