Monster

Cy

Untitled and unnamed 

The monster you made.

Put whips on my back 

And clothed me in chains.

There's blood in my eyes

And ice in my veins.

We didn't know we was niggas

Until the white man proclaimed.

Now that I'm "free" you 

Think I should put my trust in you.

Why would I trust you

When I know what you can do.

You took me away from me 

And told me what I could be.

Then released to the streets,

With no choice but to bring heat.

Now I'm a blood

Cause I play with guns.

Riddled with drugs

Tear drops represent sons.

You're confused why,

When this is what you have done.

You gave me no choice 

But to become a monster.

Taking our pops

Then calling us bastards.

The only way you hear my message

Is if I speak with a blaster.

We are screaming at you now

Because you're killing us faster.

You need to learn the definition of 

American citizen.

I was born here, I got my green card,

But still I'm not believed in.

Setting me free was a mistake, 

My brother what were you thinking 

How are you surprised when I live by these stereotypes

When you're the one who conceived it.

The monster you created,

Yeah the monster you made.

You left me untitled,

But with so many names.

athlete, rapper, thug.

Now free, but caged by your stereotypical chains.

Fuck it to your rules, cause I’m gonna bring change

cause now my brother this monsters out of his cage.
