[Verse 1]
Paper plate in the cupboard
Lil’ seeds in a wet brown towel
Pray they crack like the pavement
Same way we grew, all foul
Ziplock on the cable box
Lil’ taproot pokin’ like “what’s good?”
Solo cup soil on the windowsill
Sproutin’ like kids in the hood
Hand‑me‑down fan on a milk crate
Light leak, blanket on the door
Cheap timer from the swap meet
Hope the landlord don’t explore
Water in a cut‑up bottle
PH guessin’, just hope and faith
Mama yellin’ ’bout the power bill
I’m calculatin’ grams and weight
[Chorus]
From a seed to the smoke, that’s life
Watch it grow, watch it fight through the night
From the block to the bag to the lighter flame bright
Every node, every leaf, that’s the story of my life
From a seed to the smoke, that’s pain
Got my roots in the crack of the drain
From the hood to the jar to the hit in my brain
Every bud, every cough, that’s my joy and my shame
[Verse 2]
Veg time, lights on heavy
Closet glow like an open safe
Nutes in a Kool‑Aid pitcher
Stains on the rug by the old milk crate
Tie that top, lil’ low‑stress prayer
Fan leaves big like Sunday plates
Trim a bit, let the airflow dance
Same way we duck court dates
Flip that switch to the long dark nights
Four weeks in, smell hit the hall
Filter hummin’ like auntie’s fridge
Hope dogs don’t sniff that wall
Pistils pop like tiny flags
Trichs frostin’ like first of Dec
Homies bang, but I’m baggin’ up knowledge
My war right here on this stem
[Chorus]
From a seed to the smoke, that’s life
Watch it grow, watch it fight through the night
From the block to the bag to the lighter flame bright
Every node, every leaf, that’s the story of my life
From a seed to the smoke, that’s weight
Countin’ days while they argue over hate
From the hood to the jar to the hit on my plate
Every bud, every breath, that’s my chance to escape
[Verse 3]
Chop day, scissors in a shoebox
Late night, trash bags on the floor
Sticky fingers like we hit a lick
But this come straight from a door
Hang lines over the bathtub
Hangers on the shower rod sag
Cracked window for a slow dry wind
Towel stuffed deep in the cracks of the pad
Glass jars lined like soldiers
Burp ‘em, listen for that snap
Open lid, whole room smell change
Like the world flipped out my lap
Break a nug on a old CD
Spark up on the back porch steps
Inhale what I built from nothin’
Exhale all the shots I left
[Chorus]
From a seed to the smoke, that’s life
Watch it grow, watch it fight through the night
From the block to the bag to the lighter flame bright
Every node, every leaf, that’s the story of my life
From a seed to the smoke, that’s me
Turnin’ dirt into somethin’ I can be
From the hood to a plan, I’ma plant till I’m free
Every bud, every breath, that’s my own legacy
