"You have to be around it, you get sensitive to the sound and sight of a fight, the way a gun sounds — it doesn't sound like the movies," Chance says. "The idea of having friends who passed before they were 16, 17, you realize other people who aren't from here aren't like that, and they fear us. In Chicago people are afraid too. So to say, 'I know you're scared,' it's a kid speaking to an adult, to anyone who is outside this. He's saying, 'I'm in the same position, I'm scared too.' I can't be inattentive or unprepared. Because they could pull on me at any time. It's fear of the next step. That song is saying if everyone would stop and say how they feel, we might realize we have a lot more in common than we thought."
