Left-wing rapper Eminem released a new album on Friday, which features the song “Darkness,” which pushes hard for gun control and the song’s video encourages viewers to register to vote for candidates who will subvert the Second Amendment.

The song is on the album, Music To Be Murdered By, a follow-up to his 2018 effort Kamikaze. The lyrics to “Darkness” repeatedly reference the October 1, 2017, Las Vegas mass shooting, wherein a gunman broke out windows and shot at unarmed innocents attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival.

Genius.com published lyrics to “Darkness.” Here is an excerpt:

Now I’m starin’ at the room service menu off a Benzo I can hear the music continue to crescendo I can see the whole f##kin’ venue from my window That’s when you know you’re schizo (Hello darkness, my old friend) ‘Cause I keep peekin’ out the curtain from the hotel The music is so loud But it’s almost as though I don’t hear no sound

Here is another bite:

‘Bout to snap and go motherfuckin’ wacko at any second ‘Bout to cancel the show just as fans below rush the entrance Plan is a go to wreck s##t, cameras in all directions (Hello darkness, my old friend) The press is about to go ape s##t bananas on all the networks Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers I’m armed to the teeth, another Valium, fall off the bed Hit the ground and crawl to the dresser Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the Scope I’m blackin’ out, I’m all out of meds With them benzodiazepines gone Now it’s just magazines sprawled out on the floor F##k the media, I’m goin’ all out, this is war
