The shooting in the back is another metaphor. If he doesn’t smoke weed with them, they won’t be friends with him. Or that they’ll tell everyone that he didn’t do it with them, embarrassing him.

[Hook]
"Do what I do" (4x)
Smoke a little smoke
Drink a little drink
That's all you'll ever be
That's how you'll always think
"Do what I do" (4x)
Put that weed in a bong
And smoke it all day long
Don't listen to your mentors
Even if they tell you it's wrong Onemanband – Do What I Do

This song is about peer pressure. The hook is what the people using peer pressure say to the victim. Smoke weed with them, drink with them. Don’t listen to your teachers or parents.

In hip hop, there were several popular and well-known beefs, e.g. Nas vs Jay-Z, West vs East, Eminem vs Benzino, etc. This beef is getting close to someone actually getting killed like in Pac’s and Biggie’s beef in which the first was murdered and second a year later too.

The fact that he won’t stand for this must be making the bully mad. So, Em’s not wrecking him physically, but emotionally.

Interestingly, research suggests that most real-life bullies degrade others to make themselves feel better about personal insecurities. Usually their targets are smaller or weaker than them, so it is easy to get away with the cruelty and thus receive a self-esteem boost.

Got murdered in cold-blood
That old saloon there was their little home away from home
They say the ghosts of Bad and Evil still live in that tavern
And on a quiet night, you can still hear

Additionally, rappers like 2Pac and Biggie became legends after their deaths. Eminem is implying that he and Royce will blow up and become legends like these two.
