Rotten Seed
Urban Truth

Intro:
(Short Instrumental)

Verse 1:
Yo, planted deep in the concrete, a seed so rotten,
Sowin’ hate in the streets, while the truth’s forgotten.
Watch it spread like a virus, infectin’ our kin,
Divisin’ us by color, lettin’ the games begin.
Told to keep it real, but real is a rare file,
Double standard in the mirror, got the world in denial.
Cops a badge of honor, but they shoot us in cold blood,
While we’re painted as villains, like we made our own flood.

Hook:
Rotten seeds of division, grown in the dark,
Feel the weight of a system that’s leavin’ a mark.
Break the cycle, we rise, gotta tear it apart,
Stay united, my people, we’re armed with the heart.

Verse 2:
See the media twistin’ the tales like a serpent,
Highlightin’ the madness instead of the burden.
Young black boy on the news, can’t escape that fate,
While they glorify the others, ain't it just hate?
They say respect is earned, but they never show the drive,
Just a hoodie and some dreams, barely fightin’ to survive.
Shackles of the mind, from a distorted view,
But we’re breakin’ the chains, pushing truth into view.

Hook:
Rotten seeds of division, grown in the dark,
Feel the weight of a system that’s leavin’ a mark.
Break the cycle, we rise, gotta tear it apart,
Stay united, my people, we’re armed with the heart.

Verse 3:
Yo, when will they learn? History’s repeatin’,
Fist in the air, we ain’t here for retreatin’.
Homies locked up, but the real thieves roam free,
Privilege in the shadows, ain’t it clear to see?
Time to uproot all the hate, let compassion spread,
Plant a new seed of love, let it flourish instead.
We the voice of the future, hear the truth we spill,
Together in this struggle, we ain’t foldin’ for the thrill.

Hook:
Rotten seeds of division, grown in the dark,
Feel the weight of a system that’s leavin’ a mark.
Break the cycle, we rise, gotta tear it apart,
Stay united, my people, we’re armed with the heart.
