They call us bad seeds driftin' in the breeze
Rooted in shadows we grow wild and free
Under neon lights where the city don't sleep
We walk the dark alleys where secrets run deep
They see us as trouble but they don't understand
We're just tryin' to live survivin' in this land
They tried to bury us didn't know we were seeds
Risin' through the cracks yeah we're all we need
We're the bad seeds yeah growin' on our own
Out in the concrete where the wild things roam
Can't break us down no we know who we are
Bloomin' in the darkness like a midnight star
Got a fire in our souls that can't be tamed
Turnin' their judgment into fuel for the flames
They say we're rebels yeah we might agree
But there's power in roots that nobody can see
We're dancin' to the beat of the city's hum
Speakin' in rhythm to the pound of the drums
They wanna pull us up tear us down say we're wrong
But we're here for the fight and we're here for the song
We're the bad seeds yeah growin' on our own
Out in the concrete where the wild things roam
Can't break us down no we know who we are
Blooming in the darkness like a midnight star
Got a fire in our souls that can't be tamed
Turnin' their judgment into fuel for the flames
They say we're rebels yeah we might agree
But there's power in roots that nobody can see
We're dancin' to the beat of the city's hum
Speakin' in rhythm to the pound of the drums
They wanna pull us up tear us down say we're wrong
But we're here for the fight and we're here for the song
We're the bad seeds yeah growin' on our own
Out in the concrete where the wild things roam
Can't break us down no we know who we are
Blooming in the darkness like a midnight star
Ain't no rain too heavy no sun too bright
We've been through the storm we've earned this light
From the cracks and the shadows we rise up strong
Bad seeds in the night where we belong
So let 'em talk let 'em whisper and shout
They fear what they don't know what they can't root out
We're the life in the places they thought were bare
Bad seeds with a spark that's everywhere
We take the rough streets make 'em feel like home
We're unbreakable even when we're alone
From the dirt and the dust yeah we reclaim
This city's heartbeat we're here to stake our claim
We're the bad seeds yeah growin' on our own
Out in the concrete where the wild things roam
Can't break us down no we know who we are
Blooming in the darkness like a midnight star
We're the bad seeds the rebels the free
Risin' from shadows yeah just wait and see
A force of nature we can't be denied
In this city of steel we'll survive and thrive
