Restless
The Skints Lyrics

As the crowds grow restless
As people become increasingly dissatisfied

And express their distrust
And vocalize their lack of faith

I'm wide awake
I am alert and aware

I'm wide awake as their schemes and plots
I am cognizant of their plans and conspiracies

Are hatched and reared in the nest of the vipers
Their schemes are nurtured and developed in secret, like snakes in a nest

If you think they think you matter
If you believe they view you as significant

You are mistaken
You are incorrect in that belief

To them you are just here for the taxation
To them, your purpose is merely to be taxed

Been thinking about what happens
I have been contemplating the consequences

To those who serve us wrong
To those who mistreat and abuse us

The officer who chose to rob a mother of her son
The police officer who unjustly takes a child away from their mother

And a tower stands in ashes
And a towering building is destroyed

No one's held accountable
No one is held responsible

Justice is something that is not universal
Justice is not equally applied to everyone

To tell the next scene
To predict what is to come

These robots all know I'm a mutant
These conformists all know I am different

Yeah sentinels can smell the X-Gene
Yes, establishment enforcers can detect those who defy expectations

Use your powers come join the team (X-Men)
Utilize your strengths and become part of a group that challenges the status quo

Cos all those who wanna reign supreme
Because those who desire control and dominance

Never really seem to wanna take the blame supreme
Rarely take responsibility for their actions

Or feel the pain too deep
Or experience the true consequences of their actions

We get left in the rain you see
We are abandoned and left to suffer

New day but it all feels the same to me
Despite new beginnings, everything remains unchanged

And now you wanna make your country hate again?
And now you want to promote hate in your nation?

Please teach these cunts to be afraid again
Please instill fear in these people once more

I said away with them
I declare that they should be removed and cast aside

And as the crowds grow restless I'm wide awake with them
And as people become increasingly discontent, I remain vigilant alongside them

And if you ain't insane or dead
And if you are not crazy or deceased

You better engage your brain and get
You need to utilize your intelligence and

Wise to their tactics
Become knowledgeable of their strategies

Ignite your mind like a matchstick
Consciously awaken your thoughts and ideas

And start a blaze on em
And take action against them

I said they're plotting, they're judging
I declare that they are scheming and evaluating others

They're talking, watching with them eyes wide shut
They are communicating and observing while being willfully ignorant

Every lyrics, every syllable mi write up
Every word and every line I write

Thankful for the light whe shine and make me sight up
Grateful for the insight that illuminates my thoughts

Things that were not right, in spite, are feeling nice
Things that were previously wrong are now ameliorated

Oh my
Expressing surprise and amazement

I've enjoyed my days
I have lived a satisfying life

Got some real ones side of me
I have genuine people by my side

From you have life you can find a way
As long as you are alive, you can find a path forward

Look how mi rich now finally
Look how prosperous I am now, at last

What am I to say? I'm wide awake
What else can I say? I am fully aware and alert

Somewhere hide away on the lowkey side of the island
Hiding in a discrete location on the less populated side of the island

Who them a hype on? Man just a drive on the road
Who are they trying to impress? I am simply driving on the road

Mi ah keeping mi eye pon plan
I am keeping my focus on my goals and intentions
