Track 4 off Between Heaven & Hell, Add-2 paints a picture of the harsh reality that is growing up in Southside Chicago.
The song’s video was dedicated to the memories of Tytrell Jackson, Tremaine Williams and Johnny Bravdo.

See I love Chicago
But I hate it at the same damn time
[Verse 1]
Walk with me on the Southside
I'm from the Chi, ain't a safe place if you outside
Niggas stuffed in the trunks next to the alpine
Ain't a movie, your friends'll smoke you like How High
Heh, you smell that?
That sweet smell of corruption can you inhale that?
Pourin the liquor they blackin' out every night
Nigga price of your life ain't worth the price of your Mikes
Tryna live for something, dyin over nothing
All in the family, they sleeping with sleep's cousin
Shit, lets take a step farther
They daughters' v cards was taken by step fathers
I'm sorry, I mean the nigga mom fucked to keep the lights on
He cuts the lights out now she pregnant with his son
Ask my cousin what he want from Santa on his wish list
He said to make it through summer and live to see Christmas
Like that
[Bridge]
See it's like that
Yea it's like that
Let's bring it right back
I said it's like that
They say it's like that
You know it's like that
Let's bring it right back
[Verse 2]
They closed 52 schools down for real
Fuck college, start saving for bail
We on the third rock from the sun
I seen my friend's mother cop her third rock from her son
What these eyes seen walking up the blocks they run
What you believe gon' protect you, God or your gun?
My homie got both, sometimes he say God don't come soon enough
Belly of the beast, these streets teeth'll chew em up
Lives lost like Gilligan, killing Trayvon's every single day
Man we got so many black Zimmermans
Shot my homie Tay Tay, it hurts that he gone
Man it fucks with me to even put these words in this song
You was just a lil kid, you ain't s'possed to die
You ain't s'possed to be inside this casket
You supposed to be alive
I s'possed to see you at your graduation
Tellin' you congratulations that you came up and you made it
But now I can't say it
Now I can't say it
Swear I can't say it
Yo
Yo it's like that
I swear it's like that
You know it's like that
Bring it right back
Bring it right back
