Alfred's Theme Lyrics

Before I check the mic (check, check, one, two)
I give it an extra swipe with a Lysol disinfectant wipe (good evening)
Coronavirus in effect tonight
Antiseptics on deck, I got every type (yeah)
I throw on my tux, then I (yeah) give zero...

   Although he got rid of Slim Shady with When I'm Gone in 2005, that doesn't stop Eminem from his controversial and violent lyrics. In this song, Mathers channels his inner Alfred Hitchcock and pays homage to Hitchcock's masterpieces in the lyric video. The instrumental shows shades of the anthology series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The video shows Eminem looking through his binoculars (Rear Window), running down staircases (Blackmail), stabbing a person (Psycho), falling through a portal (Vertigo), and a crow pecking out a eyeball (The Birds). The song includes lots of wordplay, such as "You're all hitched to my c*ck," referring to Alfred Hitchcock. The other wordplay includes, "Then treated it like a cyclops like it's the only one I (eye) got," "Parental advising (Visine) every time I drop (eye drop)," "Got me sittin' on numbers like a pocket dial, quick to 'call' you out on your bullsh*t, don't make me give that crock a dial (crocodile), 'cause if I do, it's see ya later, alligator," "With flying colors like I just tossed my crayons," "I'm Diddy's side b*tch, what the f*ck? Hold on, wait, I'm Diddy's side b*tch? Oh, I'm still east side, b*tch," "B*tch, it's 2020 (20/20), you still ain't seein' me," "Call me Santa Claus, 'cause at the 'present,' I out-rap (wrap) 'em all, I'm at the mall," "My d*ck is coat-check, she wanna jack it (jacket) off," "I don't buy a designer, 'cause I don't pander (panda)," "I'd describe it as bowling, ball's hard, and the 'gutter's' where my mind is, and when it's in this 'frame,' better 'split' like the 5 and the 10, 'cause without a second to 'spare,' I'm 'striking' again, and when the beat is up my 'alley,' I go right for the 'pins,'" "It's sour grapes, I still whine (wine), I'm the best seller (cellar)," "B*tch, I'll pee (P) on your head like a Phillies hat," and "B*tch, if you shot a tree, you wouldn't 'pop the trunk.'"
