[Chorus: Eminem & 50 Cent]
'Cause we came here to set this party✦ off right
Let's bounce tonight✦
And if they don't let us in through the front
We'll come through the side
'Cause I don't ever✦ wanna✦ leave the game
Without✦ at least saying goodbye
So all my people on the left, all my people on the right
Swing one last time
[Post-Chorus: Eminem, Dr. Dre & 50 Cent]
When Dr. Dre says crunk, you will get it crunk
Get it crunk, crunk, crunk, crunk
And when 50 Cent says jump, you get on one foot and
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre & Eminem]
The buzz is tremendous, we drop you all to sense it
I don't gotta'✦ promote it for you to know that Doc is off the benches
We keep the party✦ rockin'✦ off the hinges✦
We ain't showin'✦ off, we just going off popular consensus
But critics say that Doc is soft, Doc is talk
Doc is all washed✦ up, knock it off, who the fuck is Doc impressin'?✦
Doc is this, Doc is that, you got the wrong impression✦
You must be on the cock of Doc, 'cause Doc left you all guessin'✦
So DJ take the needle and just drop it on the record (What?)
We gon' have this motherfucker hoppin'✦ in a second (Bump, bump)
That's why we always✦ save the best cut last
To make you scratch and itch for it like fresh cut grass
'Cause we done swam with the sharks, wrestled with alligators
Spoke to a generation✦ of angry✦ teenagers
Whom, if it wasn't for rap to bridge the gap, may be raised✦ to be racist
Who may have never✦ got to see our faces✦
Graced✦ the cover✦ of Rolling Stone pages✦
Broke down barriers of language and races✦
Just call on the caped✦ crusaders and leave it to me and Dre to
Pass the mic and we can play the
Back and forth all day like the hot potato✦ game
That's why we came to
[Chorus: Eminem & 50 Cent]
'Cause we came here to set this party✦ off right
Let's bounce tonight✦
And if they don't let us in through the front
We'll come through the side
'Cause I don't ever✦ wanna✦ leave the game
Without✦ at least saying goodbye
So all my people on the left, all my people on the right
Swing one last time
[Interlude: Eminem]
50 Cent, come on
[Verse 3: 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Dr. Dre & Eminem]
Bounce now, hands up, you know how we do
We make the club jump everywhere we go
It's no secret,✦ everybody know
When Dre's involved,✦ there's✦ plenty✦ of money✦ involved✦
And plenty✦ honey's✦ involved✦ and sunny✦ Sundays and palm trees
Cali, everyday is just another party✦
From the valleys all the way to them 8 Mile alleys✦
Let's rally,✦ hands up for the grand finale✦
Now raise up out your seat, Dre's about✦ to speak
Blaze a pound of weed six days up out the week
You can catch me in the studio,✦ bangin'✦ out the beats to
Provide you with the heat that keep blazin'✦ out your speakers
So never✦ say never,✦ 'cause Shady,✦ Aftermath✦ together
Along✦ with G-Unit✦ Records, presents the return of the
The Doc and Shady,✦ no one can do it better✦
We tear the club up and leave without✦ a shred of evidence that, uh
[Chorus: Eminem & 50 Cent]
We came here to set this party✦ off right
Let's bounce tonight✦
And if they don't let us in through the front
We'll come through the side
'Cause I don't ever✦ wanna✦ leave the game
Without✦ at least saying goodbye
So all my people on the left, all my people on the right
Swing one last time
[Outro: Eminem & 50 Cent]
Yeah, haha✦ (Haha)✦
Still Aftermath✦ (Aftermath)✦
2006 (2006)
And don't worry✦ about✦ that Detox album, it's coming✦
We gon' make Dre do it (Haha)✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
The verse functions as a rhythmic showcase rather than a lyrical manifesto, prioritizing cadence and internal rhyme density over dense metaphorical layering, consistent with 2004 club-rap standards.

Multisyllabic internal rhymingConsonanceCall-and-response rhythmEnjambment
Rhyme Architecture: A highly dense internal scheme utilizing near-rhymes and multi-syllabic clusters (tremendous/sense it/benches/hinges/consensus) building toward a sharp rhythmic release.
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"Doc is off the benches"
① The literal reference to Dr. Dre entering the game after a hiatus.② A sports metaphor implying a player coming off the bench to impact the game.
"You must be on the cock of Doc"
① A vulgar dismissal of critics implying they are obsessed with the artist.② A play on the phrase 'cock of the walk' combined with the artist's name to suggest critics are subservient or infatuated.
Exceptional cadence control
High density of internal rhyming
Effective use of multisyllabic end-rhyme chains
Commanding vocal presence suited for the beat
Simplified lyrical thematic content
Wordplay relies heavily on repetition of the 'Doc' nickname
Lacks profound metaphorical depth or complex narrative arcs
