"Joseph and Daniel are basically saying the same thing. Em is using this metaphor to drive home what he said in "On Fire" - "Nobody will fucking test me cause these hoes won't even dare"
It's interesting he choose to use dog whistle in that way, Because that whistle has dual effects, it can describe both Him and other Rappers at the same time. The tone it makes is piercing to a dog (like he has said his tongue is in previous songs), but almost non audible (like other MC's) to humans.
- He's so good other MC's wouldn't dare open their mouths and try to test him.
But were missing the genius behind the song by not pointing out that like 25 to life" This line is our first clue, this whole song is a Double Entendre.. Only possibly a little more cleverly disgusted, as it appears many haven't picked up on it yet. As you explain in the "About" women are also Bitches, sluts, cunts, and whores... But the Girl is Hip Hop Elite/Critics and the Bitches, Cunts, Sluts, Whores are Em competition/other MC's... also note - "run boy" in the third verse. He's answering the elitist who are asking "why he came back" Apparently even after the album came out journalist still didn't understand that this song was answering that question, cuz they are still asking it. But we can point them here now.
It breaks down like this.
"Girl, I think you just might have tried
To pull a motherfuckin’ fast one. I’m mad"
= "I was robbed and now I'm pissed" by that selfish bitch that chews him up and spits him out, or the obvious girl thing
"You just hurt my goddamn feeling
And that was the last one I had"
Same as "took my heart and ran it Straight into the planet, into the dirt, I can no longer stand it"
"Does this look like an arcade, trying to play games?
See this saw blade? See this silhouette
Of a stalker in your walkway? Better cooperate
Or get sauteed and rotisseried while you’re hog-tied
Does it look like he playing games? Best not try him, He'll roast your ass! (or their pic of the girl being hog tied after testing him, both work)
MC’s get so quiet you can hear
A motherfucking dog whistle when I walk by"
Now we discover what this is really about > This is why he's pissed, He shouldn't have been robbed, he's earned his recognition, cause he's better than those bitches, and sluts! He drives home how much better he is, and how full of shit they (MTV) are! That's what he came back for, to prove it and get his respect. Why? As any Rapper with a true love for the art will tell you, it the most important thing there is, It's all they can leave with. -- "A plaque and platinum status is wack if I'm not the baddest, _Eminem "Till I Collapse" so "Here we Go"...
You don't own me = Same as "I'mma take control of this relationship, Command it, and I'mma be the boss of you now, goddammit, And what I mean is that I will no longer let you control me"

Does anyone else think what she's saying is true?
And what the fuck is this a metaphor for
"Colt Seavers on a mule stunting on that ass
Like a fuckin’ Fall Guy! I don’t gas my Mercedes
After midnight, I treat it like a Mogwai
Cause it will turn into a Gremlin and run over kids
Women and men - "Vroom Vroom!" - motor so big
You can fit a midget in his engine"
I get the whole mogwai gremlin thing, but he not being literal of course, and it appears to be about his rhymes and shady''s lack of limits when it comes to who he'll pounce on, but I don't get the "motor so big You can fit a midget in his engine" line at all
