Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a the streets busy life is a trouble
While you watch your world your fish stay they own pond
Those who disagree choose the way of a dubber
Those who blend right in choose the book and the laptop
Who have ears to hear listen to what mama said
Sit down in a church and be quiet and pray
You're takin' on the wrong pledge
Your life not granted
So your story echoes in my head
[Verse 2]
What I've found
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't ya 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
[Verse 3]
This is the story of a man I used to know
He never listened to his dad and mama word
He found shelter in a wrong place
Friends with a screw face
Then killed by their wrong ways
Justice not kind
It's vision blind
Forward with the sentence
No judge can rewind
Rest indeed, yeah
Rest in peace
Rest in me
[Verse 4]
What I've found
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't ya 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
[Verse 5]
There's still a place that wants you call your own
Not a white zone at a funeral home
Silence, no more music, no sound
Under the moonlight in a small town
Guiltiness rests on their shoulders
So, for the wicked man, his days are numbered
Rest indeed, yeah
Rest in me
[Verse 6]
What I've felt
I've known
[Verse 7]
Never free
Never me
[Verse 8]
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't ya 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
