Add-2 touts his abilities to rap and put on a good show by using multiple words as double entendres (ink/inc., lit, boo, sully).
In the movie Monsters Inc., a city full of monsters is powered (“keep the city lit”) by the fearful screams (“make them scream”) of children in a neighboring existence. While working to generate power for his city, Sully ends up befriending Boo, one of the children he was supposed to be scaring.

This bar is about basketball. Add-2 says that lost ones cannot guard him. He follows that by “cross[in] em like God’s son.” Christianity teaches that Jesus is God’s son and was crucified on the cross. The last line is a reference of the movie, He Got Game, in which Ray Allen, one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, plays the role of Jesus Shuttlesworth.
“God’s son” may also be a reference to Nas, who has a song with the title “The Cross,” on his 2002 album God’s Son.

“Digits” is slang for money. On an analog clock, the hands touch the digits. Apart from seconds referring to meals, “seconds” continues the theme of time.
Add-2 also links his time theme back to his hunger/food theme. This shows how much work he puts into his craft because he’s “hungry.” “Came back for seconds,” further expresses his hunger (how bad he wants to be great.)
