He stays dodging the cops and FBI agents who are trying to catch him, the predator.
He’s not the child-molesting type of predator commonly seen on NBC Dateline’s To Catch a Predator which is hosted by Chris Hansen)…
… he’s more like the beast in Predator, starring Danny Glover.

The rush of emotions and love that comes with having his first child are affecting him greatly and have Jay-Z, who’s famous for his way with words, at a loss for them.
He’s also talking to his longtime friend and collaborator Pharell Williams (of The Neptunes and N.E.R.D. fame) who produced this track and lent some vocals.
Jay has been calling Pharrell “PhaReal” since their collaboration on the track “Frontin'”. Before Jay’s featured verse on that song, he exclaims:
We got another one, PhaReal! I call you PhaReal ‘cause you the truth.

The whole concept of this track is complete and total honesty, and Royce is just speaking honestly on how he feels about some of his idols in hip-hop (including Jay-Z and Nas mentioned above).
Eminem is one of Royce’s oldest friends in the hip-hop game; in fact, they are the original renegades. Royce truly thinks of him as a legendary emcee (like Biggie and ‘Pac).
Royce sees Eminem as a legendary mc but not on the distinction of being the god of rap due to the fact that he doesn’t see Eminem ,Tupac and Biggie having eclipsed what Nas and Jay z have achieved so in fact he is saying the gods of rap is Nas and Jay z and the other 3 are below them!
Royce sees Jay and Nas as rap gods, but he sees Eminem like Big and Pac two rap gods, he compares Em to Biggie on what he can do as an MC lyrically and also to Pac on that his lyrics and music and have an impact on the listeners lives like a poet. So he is saying Em is equal to two rap gods Big and Pac..
