The Unforgiven
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee Unforgiven
Architect and build it, you can see it
Hey, hey, a paranoid mind is a crutch
Like anything sittin' for a while gon' rust
That's why I stand out, and why you climb the ladder
People got their hands out, something you don't know about
The hustle got harder, had to move up out the house
I was sixteen, hide the condoms in my couch
But the seed gon' sprout, the elite don't doubt
And life ain't fair, that's why I'm speaking for you now
My reflection is a martyr zone
And God knows I be verbose
That's why my words always feel close
I been protected, they want my essence
But I'm aggressive, they won't catch me
I euro-stepped it, it's destined
Take a look at my expressions
I'm all festive, and invested in my message
Unforgiven man, he still don't see the vision
If we all pump fakin' who gon' really make decisions, boy?
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee Unforgiven
(Yeah, uh)
I was an alien, feeding off rebellion
When you hate the teacher you miss all of the lessons
Been lost for a while now, I'm just gonna fake it
The names and the face, they keep changin'
But the strategy still remain the same in the end
Gold fangs in their neck, sweet taste of revenge
You do not kill what's already dead, straight up, hell bent
I present as heaven sent until my soul left
And I'm just a skeleton, day of reckoning
Will I get my recognition in the end?
Unforgivable like seeing your wife on your wedding night
When I'm consumed by the darkness, I'm truly in my prime
Doors are closing in, all of the foundation giving out
But I never felt more alive than I do now
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee Unforgiven
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm tryna stop thinking 'bout the bad
But will we ever stop thinking' 'bout our past?
Regrets, grudges, everything that ain't last
Feel like I'm underwater, tryna throw punches but I'm hitting glass
Nobody told me life would be so
Up and down, deep slope
Feel the incline, thick smoke
When I didn't have a single dollar to my name
I still had hope, I still had faith
Still your number one fan, keep your picture in my wallet
So young, so happy, so pure, no malice
They say life full circle, kinda feeling off balance
But I know a new day bring a whole new challenge
A new chapter, it was written like the stories of old
Unforgiven but I bask in this glory I own
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee Unforgiven
