[Chorus - Metallica Sample]

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]

Lets talk about the struggle, lets talk about the pain

Some people say they love you, but that don't mean a thang

Some folks is so naive, not me.. I go insane

Some people dap you, they hug you.. they do it all in vain

That's my depression talking.. maybe it's really real

Maybe them doctors was right, and maybe I'm really ill

See I can't really chill.. without feeling the guilt of me

Stealing these pills ...

Is anybody feeling me still?

(Shit) except for the hood.. nobody told me, I ever couldn't

Instead, I pushed.. back when they told me I never would

Looking at me, like I was just a crook

I express the hood, and what I see on the daily

My scenery daily....

Task force.. B & E's daily

A task y'all.. being me daily

They want to put, 3 in me nail me

This is stuff, you only read on The Daily

Had product, but ain't supply it then..

High off more than weed..so the product just got me higher than..

Product of my environment

Look-at-where-they-put-me.. and look where they telling me I gotta be

Stop and see, the robberies ..the poverty..

Naw fam, its not for me..

Its got to be, an opt atleast

Without-dudes-gettin'-chased-by police

So they gave us film, sport.. and the gift to make a hot CD

Back to the wall, against the ropes..

Nothings believable, feezable.. they don't believe in you

You've been verbally beaten to...

A pulse, so the result to you think nothing is reachable

Reasonable, I tell you dreams come true

Yeah haters, even YOU! 



[Chorus]



[Verse 2]

Now take your hands, and wave 'em high

They told me I can't, but I said "why?!"

Like, fuck it, I'll try...

NOT fuck it and die..

See, this is real emotion we deal wit'

Often, and don't reveal it..

Often we stuff it inside, but I'm like fuck it.. lets ride..

I-- do what I do, because I do what I do what I feel

THEY-- do what they do, in hopes of what they do.. they appeal

They got a image, and a persona that they gotta fill

That they better do, for revenue.. so labels will be thrilled

Kind-of-feel like a wanted man...

I can't talk to folk, cause when I ask 'em to trust me

All-they-wanna-do-is-judge-me

I'm feeling like they don't understand

(I'm) feeling like ain't too many people friendly

I feel like ain't too many people are what they pretend to be

Cause I'm in that zone, when I feel alone

Like everybody is against me

I just feel like I'm worst enemy

And naw, its not a cry for no sympathy

I'm just thinkin' outloud, to a crowd-- I'm just tryna figure out some remedy

Almost like every lesson, almost like every jewel, every tool..

That's ever been lent to me..

For the moment, is gone..

I'm like a new born..

I feel like a man wit' no memory..

Slow it down for a second, make sure I'm not losing you..

Or confusing you, I'm delusional

Ever you never been there, then you have no idea what illusions do..

Through and through, I'm hoping none of these signs aren't vital..

Or none of these rhymes.. inside the recital..

Why do it mean, I'm suicidal?

I'm ain't that Houston dude...

But-- I'm a MANIAC!

Don't get over, drunk or sober..

This the same way I'd act..

And I'm strivin' to pull together..

But atleast until these voices inside of me..

Go forever, be aloft- I'm liable to do whatever.. (c'mon!)



[Chorus x2]
