The song was previously played during red carpet entrances at the Cannes Film Festival, Billboard reported.

 

Lyrics in the track include: ‘I rolled up like the bottom of a tooth paste tube/ Blue suede shoes, one missin’ a shoe lace too/ Two chains, you can call me 2 Chainz/ Ropes hang like Hussein’s noose/ Yeah, they let the fruitcake loose/ It goes one for the trailer park, two for my baby-ma’s/ Three for the tater tots, four if you ate a lot.’

The Grammy-winning rapper in the track also references the topic of cultural appropriation both he and Presley faced, saying, ‘I stole Black music, yeah true/ Perhaps used it as a tool to combat school.’

Eminem also draws parallels between himself and Presley in the last verse of the track: ‘Between Elvis and me, myself/ It seems obvious: one, he’s pale as me/ Second, we both been hailed as kings/ He used to rock the Jailhouse, and I used to rock The Shelter.’
