Alborosie and Raging Fyah - The Unforgiven

Inna the streets busy life is a chapper
While you at you work y'affi stay on the upper
Those who disagreed choose the way of a Dapper
Those who blend right in choose the book and the laptop
Who have hears to hear listen to what mama said
Sit down inna church and be quiet and pray
You taking on the wrong pledge
Your life not granted
So your story echoes in my head

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

This is the story of a man I used to know
He never listen to his dad and mother words
He found shelter inna wrong place
Friends with a screw face
Then killed by their wrong ways
Justice nuh kind, it's vision blind
Forward with the sentence, no judge can't rewind
Rest indeed yeah, rest in peace
Rest in 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

There's still a place that once you called your own
Not a war zone, not a funeral home
Silent, no more music, no sound
Under the moonlight in a small town
Guiltiness rest 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 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
