[Intro – Eminem]
This is Commander Marshall...
Target acquired
Launch sequence initiated
Prepare for submersion...
October’s gone red

[Verse 1 – Eminem]
Yo, I'm the ghost of the Gulf Stream, code-named Cold Steel
Thoughts encrypted in Morse, my brain got no chill
Nuclear wordplay, bars detonate slow
In the belly of the beast, where the metaphors glow

Beneath the flow’s surface, sonar detect madness
I draft scripts in blood while y’all ghostwrite in sadness
I’m thе Black Sea assassin with a blast from the hatch
You rap like Matchbox — I rap likе match gas

I’m bathin’ in cyanide syllables, chemical verbs
Spittin’ hydrogen hate through these treacherous curves
They say, “Marshall too old,” but my circuits evolved
I’m a neural net threat in a serpent’s resolve

So go ahead and decode me — I’m riddled with riddles
Each line’s a missile hidden in metaphysical symbols
You hear that? That’s your pride getting crushed by the pressure
While I lurk in the deep like a sunken suppressor
[Verse 2]
I’m a detonator with detonations embedded in meditation
Better than veterans gettin' impatient with pen and paper
Runnin’ the data like beta, I’m Vader in all iterations
I'm racin’ against a nation of haters and imitations

They bite my cadence and claim innovation
But can’t lace the statements I'm makin’ in isolation
I blaze through phrases, engravin’ flames in pages
With rage contagious, my brain’s in space like Vegas

Y’all better backtrack like a hashed IP
I’m a crack in the matrix, a hacked IV
Injectin' venom in verses, I’m cursed with circuits
So perfect it's almost like God's glitchin’ on purpose

I reverse the hearse into the booth
Let the beat bleed out and baptize the truth
Who knew one man could nuke this booth?
Now they all goin’ silent like a muted coup

[Hook – Eminem]
This is Red October, codes in my folder
Heart's colder than the Arctic, bars goin’ solar
Sonar pings in my dome, tone’s bipolar
Submerged in the game while y’all float like cola
This is Red October, rhymes in a warhead
Y’all spit fiction — I spit the forebreds
Scope locked on, boom — I unload ya
It’s death from below… Welcome to Red October
[Outro – Eminem]
(sonar echoing)
Depth charge dropped…
Another career sunk
Dive... dive... dive…
