[Chorus: James Hetfield]
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
[Verse 1: Erick the Architect]
Architect can build it, you can see it
Ayy, ayy
A paranoid mind is a crutch, like anything sitting for a while gon' rust
That's why I stand out and while you climb the ladder people got they hands out
Something you don't know about
The hustle got harder had to move up out the house
I was sixteen hidin' condoms in my couch
But this seed gon' sprout, thе elite don’t doubt
And life ain't fair, that's why I'm spеaking for you now
My reflection is a martyr's own
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, they still don't see the vision
If we all pump fakin', who gon' really make decisions, boy?
[Chorus: James Hetfield]
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
[Verse 2: Meechy Darko]
Yeah, uh
I was a hellion, feedin' off rebellion
When you hate the teacher, you miss all of your lesson
Been lost for a while now, I'm just good at fakin'
The names and the face, it keep changin'
But the strategy still remain the same in the end
Gold fangs in they neck, sweet taste of revenge
You cannot kill what's already dead
Straight up hell-bent, opposite of Heaven-sent, until my soul lift
And I'm just a skeleton, day of reckonin', will I get my recognition in the end?
Unforgivable, like cheatin' on your wife on your weddin' night
When I'm consumed by the darkness, I'm truly in my prime
The walls are closin' in on us, the foundation givin' out
But I never felt more alive than I do now
[Chorus: James Hetfield]
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
[Verse 3: Zombie Juice]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm tryna stop thinkin' 'bout the bad
But will we ever stop thinkin' 'bout our past?
Regrets, grudges, everything that ain't last
Feel like I'm under water, tryna throw punches, but I'm hittin' glass
Nobody told me life would be so up and down, steep slope
Feel the incline, big 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 feelin’ 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
[Outro: James Hetfield & Zombie Juice]
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
