“Plant a seed, watch it grow” is a symbolism for ones life evolving. And water and the sun are thing a seed would need to grow, so in other words ones requirements to evolve.

The whole song revolves around the concept of Clyde Carson’s life changing in positive ways:

I went from hungry to food from all the catering
And have to blow these bitches fake kisses

“1, 2” is a phrase rappers often use during mic checks, and some rappers even love using it in their songs:

1, 2, y'all and you don’t stop

Microphone check 1, 2, here we go

Yo, microphone check one, two, what is this?

Aside from describing his style Clyde also name-drops a few close DJ Touré affiliates. rapper Casual, duo Extra Prolific and group Souls Of Mischief, which are (and in Extra Prolific’s case were) members of DJ Touré Bay Are hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics.

Note the homophone play on the words “meddle” and “metal”. Anacron may not actually be alluding that Sepultura brought death to the music considering it’s a metal band, that performs death metal to be exact.

This skit is a recording of an audio learning program/CD/cassette. It features a man and a woman having a short conversation titled “At midday” concerning lunch, with repetitions after that. Everything before the repetitions translates as:

Listen: “At midday”
What time is it?
It is midday
It is lunchtime
What is there to eat?
There is sausage, probably

Listen and repeat: “At midday”

Crayola is a brand of artists' supplies, most infamously crayons. Which, to be honest, are awfully kiddy (and fun).

Afrika needs to feel some more Native Tongues vibes, as “Doin' Our Own Dang” is another by Jungle Brothers that also featured Q-Tip and De La Soul (among Monie Love) and is 8 years older than this song, coming from the Done by the Forces of Nature album.

Honestly, can you blame him for wanting another Native Tongues cut?

The similarity Pos' is alluding to is the fact that “reign” and “rain” are homophones, which Pos plays with. Just like rain, he’s reigning supreme.
