How could he know this new dawn's light Would change his life forever? Set sail to sea but pulled off course By the light of golden treasure Was he the one causing pain With his careless dreaming? Been afraid, always afraid Of the things he's feeling He could just be gone He would just sail on He'd just sail on How can I be lost If I've got nowhere to go? Searched the seas of gold How come it's got so cold? How can I be lost In remembrance I relive? And how can I blame you When it's me I can't forgive? These days drift on inside a fog It's thick and suffocating, ah He's seeking a life outside its hell Inside intoxicating, ah He's run aground Like his life Water much too shallow Slipping fast Down with the ship Fading in the shadows now A castaway Life All gone away He gone away, yeah How can I be lost If I've got nowhere to go? Search for seas of gold How come it's got so cold? How can I be lost In remembrance I relive? And how can I blame you When it's me I can't forgive? Forgive me Forgive me not Forgive me Forgive me not Forgive me Forgive me not Forgive me Forgive me, why can't I forgive me? Set sail to sea but pulled off course By the light of golden treasure How could he know this new dawn's light Would change his life forever How can I be lost If I've got nowhere to go? Search for seas of gold How come it's got so cold? How can I be lost In remembrance I relive And how can I blame you When it's me I can't forgive?

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 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 I was an hellion, feeding off rebellion When you hate the teacher you miss all of the lessons Been lost for a while now, I'm just good at fakin' 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 Opposite of 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 cheating on 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 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, steep 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

New blood joins this earth And quickly he's subdued Through constant pained disgrace The young boy learns their rules With time the child draws in This whipping boy done wrong Deprived of all his thoughts The young man struggles on and on he's known A vow unto his own That never from this day His will they'll take away 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 They dedicate their lives To running all of his He tries to please them all This bitter man he is Throughout his life the same He's battled constantly This fight he cannot win A tired man they see no longer cares The old man then prepares To die regretfully That old man here is me 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 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 Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven You labeled me I'll label you So I dub thee unforgiven Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven You labeled me I'll label you So I dub thee unforgiven Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven
