Thematically, the song can be seen as a statement of the two rappers with critics, traitors and people they have disappointed. Lil Wayne raps at the beginning of his verse in a relatively slow pace. He compares himself to a flower, to a lot of dirt was thrown, and which has grown anyway. The rapper says he's been to hell and back again. In addition, Lil Wayne speaks on to be with the Rapgame "married", betrayed by him to feel and to fight back. Towards the end of his verse he raps faster and describes how he fights as a bloodthirsty monster against the whole world. The subsequent chorus is sung by both artists. You mean that it is now too late to apologize, that it was allowed in difficult times down. But now do the reviews of the past no longer hurt and both want to have anything to do with these people. Eminem raps the second verse in Double Time and hence significantly faster than Lil Wayne, where he increased his speed continuously. He says that he is now back alive and free than ever was. Secondly, it plays on other rappers to, with whom he fell in his career together, but does not mention by name. The artist says that he just raps the best verse of all time and the stage is taken apart by pulling the entire attention. At the end he says that he can be beaten by anybody and continue rapping until he is displaced from the top of the rap genre. Then the chorus begins again.

Meanwhile, the boy meets his tormentors again in the school corridor, but does not defend as they attack him themselves, but listening with his headphones songs of both artists to distract himself.

Meanwhile, the boy comes home, his parents notice to argue his injuries and begin. Then the boy goes on his skateboard away, listening to Eminem and Lil Wayne and thereby starts to draw strength in order to fight back against oppression in school.
