Produced by longtime collaborator Dr. Dre, the track opens with ominous piano keys and a slow-building bassline, before exploding into rapid-fire rhymes that recall Eminem’s early 2000s ferocity.

Hook: A chant-like chorus where Eminem sneers:
🎵 “Pour the gas, light the match, watch it burn / Shady’s fuel – no lesson you’ll ever learn.” 🎵 -
Flow: Aggressive, syllable-packed bars with razor-sharp punchlines and layered wordplay targeting Diddy’s career, controversies, and influence in the hip-hop industry.
🎤 Key Lyrics (Leaked Snippets)
“You built an empire on ghost names and puff smoke / But even Bad Boys know when the reaper’s at the front door…”

“You’re outta fuel, outta juice, but I’m tanked with rage / This is Shady unchained, last chapter, last page.”
