He claims hackers posted the violent Columbine-referencing lyrics.

A 15-year-old California boy has been arrested following an incident where the teen posted lyrics from Eminem’s “I’m Back” on Instagram.

The Fresno Bee reports that school administrators flagged the post due to its Columbine-referencing lyrics.

“I take seven [kids] from [Columbine], stand ’em all in line/ Add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine/ A MAC-11 and it oughta solve the problem of mine/ And that’s a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time/ ’Cause I’m just like Shady, they call me as crazy/ As the world was over this whole Y2K thing” wrote the teen using a slightly tweaked version of the cherrypicked lyrics.

The post resulted in authorities searching the teen’s home where they found a replica AK-47 Airsoft rifle, a handgun, a .357 Magnum revolver, a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition and a bulletproof vest located in the subfloor of a closet. Both the boy and his father claim the weapons stockpile (which was all unregistered) was something they had no knowledge of.

The student has been charged with making terroristic threats, an offense that is considered a felony.

ABC reports that the teen is currently in juvenile detention for making terrorist threats and disrupting school.
