The Unforgiven
Alborosie feat. Raging Fyah Lyrics

Inna the streets busy life is a chapper
Life in the streets is hectic and overwhelming

While you at you work you affi stay on the upper
To succeed, you must maintain a certain level of positivity and motivation to rise above obstacles

Those who disagreed choose the way of a Dapper
People who refuse to conform often embrace alternative lifestyles

Those who blend right in choose the book and the laptop
People who choose to conform often follow traditional paths such as education and technology

Who have hears to hear listen to what mama said
Those who listen to their mother's advice will benefit from her words of wisdom

Sit down Inna church and be quiet and pray
Taking the time to reflect and pray in a spiritual setting can bring peace and clarity

You taking on the wrong pledge
You have made a misguided commitment

Your life not granted
Your life is not guaranteed

So your story echoes in my head
Your story will stay with me and have an impact

What I've felt
My emotions

What I've known
My knowledge

Never shined through in what I've shown
What I portray to others does not reflect my true feelings or knowledge

Never be
I will never be

Never see
I will never see

Won't see what might have been
I don't know what opportunities I have missed

Never free
I will never be free

Never me
I cannot be myself

So I dub thee unforgiven
I label myself as unforgiven and burdened by my past mistakes

This is the story of a man I used to know
The following lines describe a personal story about someone the singer once knew

He never listen to his dad an mama words
He did not take his parents' advice

He found shelter inna wrong place
He sought refuge in a harmful environment

Friends with a screw face
He befriended people with a negative or disrespectful disposition

Then killed by their wrong ways
He suffered the consequences of his association with bad influences

Justice no kind
The justice system is not always fair or merciful

It's vision blind
The justice system can overlook important details and evidence

Forward with the sentence
The sentence will be carried out without hesitation

No judge can't rewind
Once a decision has been made, it cannot be reversed

Rest indeed yeah
Rest in peace

Rest in peace
May the person rest in peace

Rest in me
May the person find peace within the singer

There's still place that once you called your own
There are still places that hold personal significance

Not a war zone not a funeral home
The place is peaceful and not associated with violence or death

Silent, no more music, no sound
The place is eerily quiet and devoid of activity

Under the moonlight inna a Small town
The place is small and illuminated by the moonlight

Guiltiness rest on their shoulder
The people who were involved in causing harm or destruction feel guilty

So for the wicked man
The following lines describe the fate of those who choose to be evil

His days are numbered
Their time is running out
