 NEW YORK (Eminem Fan Websites) - The U.S. secret service is reportedly looking into whether they feel an investigation is warranted after a song entitled "We As Americans" surfaced on the internet. The song features the lyric, "I don't rap for dead presidents/I'd rather see the president dead." The secret service - the agency responsible for the president's safety - says that they are "aware of the lyric" and were looking into whether any action is necessary. However, on Monday it emerged that the Secret Service were no longer pursuing the matter. "The Secret Service has no current plans to open an investigation into this matter," said Mr Gill. A spokesman for Eminem said the song was unfinished and it was unclear when and in what format it would be released. Last month he apologised for racist lyrics written when he was a "stupid kid". "I'd just broken up with my girlfriend, who was African-American, and I reacted like the angry, stupid kid I was. I hope people will take it for the foolishness that it was, not for what somebody is trying to make it into today," the singer said in a statement.
