He doesn't need to explain his words; they should be understood and accepted as they are.

She claims to have matured.

And she growing her own from the ground up
She is cultivating her own marijuana plants from scratch.

From the seed to the stalk till the pound drop
She takes care of her plants from the beginning until they yield a significant harvest.

And now a me make demands when I show up
Now, when the artist arrives, he requests marijuana because she has become independent in growing it.

So courteous with how she deal it
She handles and shares marijuana in a respectful and considerate manner.

Marijuana glistening, marijuana glistening, glistening, glistening
The marijuana shines and sparkles, an image associated with its allure and beauty.
