MONSTERS YOU MADE!
It’s so sad some of us still consider our oppressors as saviours and our evil political & religious leaders as heroes. The inferiority complex of the African people has put us below our worth. It’s high time to wake up! hold our oppressors and leaders accountable..... Kayode Gomes
“If the government refuses 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 fucked 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 states” 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. We are the monsters you made.
I bet they thought it was cool, probably thought we were 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, 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 fuck we go through. You’re fucking lucky if you live through the day, better pray that God always stay with you. Ain't fucking 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 niggas 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. 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 and you know it.…. Ama Ata Aidoo
