Unforgiven

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 litsen to what mama said
Sit down in a chruch and be quiet and pray
Youre takin' on the wrong pledge
Your life not granted
So your story echoes in my head
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
This is the story of man I used to know
He never listened to his dad and mama words
He found shelter in the 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
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
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
What I've felt
I've known
Never free
Never me
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
