Metallica - The Unforgiven lyrics

[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 Aye, Aye 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 thе house I was 16 hiding condoms in my couch But this seed gon' sprout, the elitе don't doubt And life ain't fair that's why I'm speaking 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] I was a hellion, feeding 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 their 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 skelton, day of reckonin', 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 The walls are closing in on us, the foundations givin' out Bu 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] I'm tryin' to stop thinkin' about the bad But will we ever stop thinkin' about our past Regrets, grudges, everything that ain't last Feel like I'm under water trying to 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 (I own) [Outro: James Hetfield] 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
