Lyrics 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 lose 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 any day the reaper 'll be coming for you We need a change and it ain't 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.
