Like Toy Soldiers Eminem
(Chorus)
[E]Step by step, heart t[A]o heart, left right le[E]ft
We all [F#m]fall down L[A]ike toy sol[B]diers
Repeat
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit torn apart We never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers)
[C#m]Iā??m suppose to be the soldier who never [A]blows his composure
Even though[C#m] I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders[B]
I ainā??t ne[C#m]ver suppose to show it, my crew ainā??t suppose to know it[A]
Even if it means going toe to toe [C#m]with the Benzino, it donā??t matter
[A] [B]
I never drag ā??em in b[A]attles that I can handle less I absolutely have to
Iā??m suppose to set an example, I need to be the leader
My crew looks for me to guide ā??em
If some sh*t ever just pop off Iā??m suppose to be beside ā??em
That Ja sh*t, I tried to squashed it, it was too late to stop it
Thereā??s a certain line, you just donā??t cross it, and he crossed it
I heard him say Hailieā??s name on a song and I just lost it
It was crazy, this sh*t went way beyond some Jay Z and Nas sh*t
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
I spent so much energy on it, honestly Iā??m exhausted
Iā??m so caught it I almost feel like Iā??m the one who caused it
This ainā??t what Iā??m in hip-hop for, itā??s not why I got in it
Now itā??s never my object to for someone to get killed
Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build
It wasnā??t my intentions, my intentions were good
I went through my whole career with out ever mentioning ____
And thatā??s just outta respect for not running my mouth
And talking about something that I knew nothing about
Plus Dre told me stay out, just wasnā??t my beef, So I did
I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth while heā??s all over TV
Now Iā??m talking a man who literally saved my live, like f**k it
I understand, this is business and this sh*t just isnā??t none of my business
But still knowing this sh*t could pop off at any minute
(Chorus)
It used to be time when you could just say a rhyme
And wouldnā??t have to worry about one of your people dying
But now itā??s elevated cause once you put someoneā??s kids in it
sh*t gets escalated, it ainā??t just words no more, is it
Itā??s a different ball game, call names and you ainā??t just rapping
We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happening
Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him
And asked him not to start it, he wasnā??t gonna go after him
Until Ja start gabbing in magazines how he stabbed him
f**k it 50, smash him, mash him, and let him have it
Meanwhile my intentions pulleyā??d in other directions
Some receptionist said the source who answers phones at his desk has an erection for me
thinks that Iā??ll be his resurrection
Tries to blow the dust of his mic and make a new record
But now heā??s f**ked the game up cause one of the ways I came was through that
the same one that made me famous
Now the owner of it got a grudge against me for nothing but f**k it
That motha f**ker can get it too, f**k ā??em then
But Iā??m so busy being p**sed off, I donā??t stop to think
That we just inherited 50ā??s beef with murder inc
And heā??s inherited mine, which is fine, ainā??t like either of us mind
Still have soldiers that is on the front line that's willing to die for us
As soon as we give the orders, never to extort us
Strictly to show they support us
Maybe shout ā??em out in a rap or up in chorus to show we love ā??em back
And to let ā??em know how important is to have Runyon Avenue soldiers up in
our corners
Their loyalty to us is worth more then any award is
But I ainā??t trying to have none of me people hurt or murdered
It ainā??t worth it, I canā??t think of a perfecter way to word it
Then to just say that I love yā??all too much to see the verdict
Iā??ll walk away from it all before Iā??ll let it go any further
Now donā??t get it twisted, itā??s not a plea that Iā??m coping
Iā??m just willing to be the bigger man
If yā??all can quiet popping off at the jaws with the knocking
Cause frankly Iā??m sick of talking
Iā??m not gonna let someone elseā??s coffin rest on my conscious
(Chorus)
