I was that kid in the ghetto, hand full of seeds
But I’m here now and I don’t plan to recede

from Fabolous – Transformation Lyrics on Rap Genius

As a child all he had was the potential to succeed (seeds aren’t much but they have the potential to be beautiful plants) and he utilized his potential

Fabolous was using wordplay with the word here in this line. He’s saying he is here (hair) now and he doesn’t plan to recede. Just as a hair or a hairline can recede and disappear fab says he is going no where. — Young Speedy
