about

Inspired in part by Octavia Bulter's book of the same name, Wildseed, describes the beauty of using music as a source of power and purpose.

lyrics

They call me wild seed
They call me wild seed
They call me wild seed

Face the music metaphysical
my verses can be fire can be water also known as flow
can be air cool breeze or the earth to help you grow
au natural like some vegetables
ya’ll some vegetables
in a comatose
been known to roast
been known to diagnose
make you face yourself then nurse you back to health
its like you took an L
as in lesson
why you stressin off the ego death
bet you thought that there was nothing left
take a breath and have some self respect
Doubt is merely emotional clutter
I’m a mother to you muggles
Don’t get in trouble just stay humble
Might burn you to the ground
just to see what’s growing from the rubble
Might build you up like the pyramids
I make simpleton delirious
I’m serious
bout nurturing this inner child
Like the earth I’m kinda wild
call me wild
