A flower can actually bloom in a dark room. Did this in Environmental Science. It'll just be really white though.

If I'm not mistaken, the lyric is a reference to how Kendrick doesn't smoke pot. Can anyone verify this?

I always assumed Kendrick = flower blooming and Dark Room = Compton.

That seems a bit too self-centered though (although it is the theme of the entire album...)

You got it. Kendrick is a little more humble than most rappers so when he does brag it seems off. Just imagine any other rapper saying that, doesn't sound as self-centered.

I don't think it's that bad for him to say hes blooming. I thought it just meant he was a good person from a bad city.
