Made You Look
Amas Lyrics

If the government refused to develop the region
If the government does not develop the region

And continue, the marginalization and injustice
And continues to marginalize and be unjust

The youth that's what coming after us
The young generation will come after us

And it will be more brutal, than what we have done
And it will be more violent than what we have done

Calling me a monster, calling us fake
Calling me and my people monsters and fake

No way, no way, no way
There is no way we accept that

We're from the block where it rains
We are from the neighborhood where it often rains

Where we create barricades
Where we build barriers

Keep opposition away
To keep our opponents away

That's why we are strapped with the K's
That's why we have guns

Don't get kidnapped from your place
You might get kidnapped from your home

'Cause it could happen today
Because it could happen anytime

Not knowing how to behave
If you do not know how to act appropriately

That is a sign that you make
It means you are in danger

Just lose your life what a waste
You might just lose your life, what a waste

Your body found in a lake
Your body might be found in a lake

You fucked around
If you messed up

And the fisherman found you drowning for days
The fisherman found you drowning for many days

You know we come from a place
We come from a place where

Where people smile but it's fake
People fake their smiles

How could they smile?
How could they possibly smile?

If you look around they are surrounded by pain
If you look around, there is pain all around them

I've seen the sky turn to grey
I have seen the sky turn grey

It took the light from the day
It became dark in the middle of the day

It's like the heads of the state
It's like the leaders of the country

Ain't comprehending the hate
They cannot understand the anger

That the oppressed generate
That the oppressed create

When they've been working like slaves
When they work like slaves

To get some minimum wage
To earn just the basic minimum wage

You turn around and you blame
Instead, you blame them

Them for their anger and rage
For experiencing anger and rage

Put them in shackles and chains
Restrict and imprison them

Because of what they became
Because of what they have become

We are the monsters you made
We have been turned into monsters because of how you treated us

You make the Minotaur, the dinosaur wake
You awaken the monsters you created

That there's only so much that you can take
You can only tolerate so much

La-di-da, doo-di-da-di-doo-day
Just meaningless sounds in this context

I bet they thought it was cool
I bet they thought it was fashionable

Probably thought we was fools
Probably thought we were stupid

When we would break all the rules
When we broke all the rules

And skip them classes in school
And skipped classes at school

Because the teacher dem teaching
Because the teachers are teaching

What the white man dem teaching
What the white people are teaching

dem European teachings in my African school
In my African school, they teach European subjects

So fuck dem classes in school
So, we do not need those classes at school

Fuck Mungo Park and the fools
Do not care about Mungo Park and his followers

That said they found river Niger
They claimed they discovered River Niger

They've been lying to you
They have been deceiving you

Ain't no denying the truth
You cannot deny the truth

See what I'm tryin' to do
See what I am trying to do

Is draw the line for the mothers cryin'
I am trying to set the limit for the suffering mothers

we're dying as youths
As young people, we are dying

Come walk a mile in my shoes
Try and see things from my perspective

See if you smile at the truth
See if you can still smile when faced with the truth

See if you digest your food
See if you still have an appetite

That's when you might have a clue
That's when you might begin to understand

Of what the fuck we go through
What we go through every day

Your fucking lucky if you
You are lucky if you survive

Live through the day, better pray
You better hope you survive the day

that God always staying with you
That God is always by your side

Ain't fucking safe any day
There is no such thing as safe

the reaper'll be coming for you
Death will come for you

We need a change and it ain't no way
We need change, and there is no other option

I'ma take an excuse
I am not going to make excuses

My niggas finding a way
We will find a way

Or fucking smile in the grave
Or die smiling

This is the price that you pay
This is the sacrifice we make

Since we met your people five hundred years ago
Since our first encounter with your people five hundred years ago

Look at us, we have given everything
We have given everything we had

You are still taking
You still take from us

In exchange for that, we have got nothing, nothing
In return, we got nothing, absolutely nothing

And you know it
And you are fully aware of it

But you just think that this is over now?
But do you think this is over now?

Over where? Is it over?
Where is it over? Is it really over?
