The song’s first instance that contains gay slurs is in the first verse. Em is heard rapping, “I’ll still be able to break a motherfuckin’ table over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half,” the second verse includes the line: “You fags are all the same.”

Eminem’s latest song also features the lyrics, “Little gay-looking boy / So gay I can barely say it with a straight face-looking boy / You witnessing massacre like you watching a church gathering taking place-looking boy / ‘Oy vey, that boy’s gay,’ that’s all they say looking-boy / You take a thumbs up, pat on the back, the way you go from your label every day-looking boy.”
