Bad Seed

For a seed to achieve it's greatest expression
It must come completely undone
The shell cracks, the insides come out, and everything changes
To someone who hasn't experienced growth
It would look like complete destruction

Anywhere but the beginning
New hearts love endlessly
No lies and no pretending
I wasn't trying to make impressions
But people were talking, and I was just guessing
But guessing turned into too many questions
Could I be holding out
On what I've been trying to be about
Just get tossed around and get tossed out
Til you tried to check me I bounced
Afraid to be found
Til I get back to my foundations
When I did what I was told
And they burned the holes
They burned the holes
In every page I wrote
In every page I wrote
Seems like everywhere I go
I'm steppin' in all their holes
Bad seed you gon watch me grow

You didn't believe
You didn't believe me when I mentioned
I was destined for luxurious company
There's nobody willing to come for me
I'm in it with no reasons
Only to show you the relevance
Under the soil that poisoned my innocence
Sank but I'm shallow, you don't need to water me

I feel the rain like a static electricity in my brain
I'll never forget where it came from
Cuz part of it always remained
I penetrated the surface, but I'm not ready to be seen
But it seems like everybody already knows
I'm a bad seed, you gotta watch me grow

You know
I don't know my home but I gotta ghost
I don't know my road but I gotta go
My ego gets colder the more that I trip
Off the chips on my shoulder
And I know that I told ya

But something bout the gravity got me different
And I can barely seem to hold the weight
I can guarantee you can relate
Even if nothing equates to what you see in me

Take it all, take it all
Take all the fruits of my existence
Take all my truth, you never listen
Take what you came for
The roots that you're missin
Another off season
Your color has faded
I doubt this behavior will improve your flavor
I've eaten your dried up opinions alive
There's no honesty
All pests aside there's still room to thrive
And a place to be
And I welcome all the unwelcoming
A bad seed can still feed the air we breathe
If I'm a bad seed then I can still fill the air you breathe
A bad seed can still feed the air we breathe
