[Intro]
Yeah, new life on this earth
Struggles from the birth, uh
[Verse ]
New blood joins the scene, caught up in the fight
From the start, they try to take away his light
Pain and disgrace, rules they try to teach
Young soul trapped, freedom out of reach
Growing up hard, he learns to stand alone
Vows to never let them take his throne
In a world cold as ice, he fights to survive
Holding on to dreams, keeping hope alive
[Chorus]
What I've felt, what I've known
Never shown through the pain I've grown
Never free, never see
What this life really means to me
[Verse ]
They run his life, try to keep him down
He smiles through the tears, hiding his frown
A man broken, but still standing tall
In a world where they hope to see him fall
Battles every day, still he can't win
Old man now, regrets locked within
Looking back, he sees the wasted time
But in his heart, he knows the climb
[Chorus]
What I've felt, what I've known
Never shown through the pain I've grown
Never free, never me
So I dub thee unforgiven, see
[Bridge]
In the quiet nights, he seeks a way
To rise above, find a brighter day
Chains of the past, breaking free
Soul on a journey, just let me be
[Chorus]
Never free, never me
Label me, I’ll label you, G
Never free, never me
So I dub thee unforgiven, see
In the end, he finds his voice
In a world where he makes his choice
A story of struggle, a tale untold
Through the darkness, he finds his gold
[Chorus]
Yo, life begins anew
Struggles straight from the start, it's true
[Verse ]
New blood in the game, fighting to shine
They try to dim his light, but he’ll define
Pain and rules, they try to impose
Young soul caught, seeking where he goes
Rising up strong, standing on his own
Vows to protect his heart and throne
In a cold world, he learns to survive
Dreams in his pocket, hope keeps him alive
[Chorus]
What I've felt, what I've known
Hidden deep, through the struggles I've grown
Never free, never see
What this life really means to me
[Verse ]
They control his path, try to hold him back
Smiles through the pain, keeps his life on track
A broken man, yet standing tall
In this harsh world, he won't let them see him fall
Daily battles, but he’s still in the fight
Old regrets, haunt him every night
Reflecting on time, wondering where it went
But in his soul, he knows he was meant
[Chorus]
What I've felt, what I've known
Hidden deep, through the struggles I've grown
Never free, never me
So I dub thee unforgiven, see
[Bridge]
In silent nights, he finds his way
Rising above, to brighter days
Chains of the past, he's breaking free
Soul on a journey, just let him be
[Outro]
Never free, never me
Label me, I’ll label you, G
Never free, never me
So I dub thee unforgiven, see
In the end, he claims his voice
In a world where he makes his choice
A tale of struggle, finally told
