Like Toy Soldiers by Eminem (from Encore).
[Intro Children] Step by step,heart to heart,left right left,we all fall down [Chorus Children] 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 tha battle wages on for toy soldiers [Verse 1 Eminem] In supposed to be tha soldier who never blows his composure,even though i hold tha weight of tha whole world on my shoulders,im never supposed to show it,my crew aint supposed to know it,even if it means goin toe to toe wit Benzino,it dont matter,i´d never drag em in battles that i can handle,unless i absolutely have to,im supposed to set an example,i need to be tha leader,my crew looks for me to guide em,if some s**t ever just pop off,im supposed to be beside em,now Ja said ´I tried to squash it,but it was too late
to stop it´,theirs a certain line u just dont cross and he crossed it,i heard him say Hailies name on a song and i just lost it,it was crazy,this s**t be way beyond some Jay Z and Nas s**t,and even though tha battle was won,i feel like we lost it,i spent too much energy on it,honestly im exhausted,and im so caught in it,i almost feel like im tha one who caused it,this aint wot im in hip hop for,its not why i got in it,that was never my object for someone to get killed,why would i wanna destroy somethin i helped build,it wasn´t my intentions,my intentions was good,i went through my whole career without ever mentionin n***a,now its just outta respect for not runnin my mouth,and talkin bout somethin i knew nothin about,Dre told me ´stay out´,this just wasn´t my beef,so i did,i just fell back,watched and gritted my teeth,
while he´s all over tv down talkin a man who literally saved my life,like f**k it,i understand this business,and this s**t just isn´t none of my business,but still knowin this s**t could pop off at any minute cos [Chorus][Verse 2 Eminem] There used to be a time when u could just say a rhyme,and wouldn´t have to worry bout 1 of ur people dyin,but now its elevated cos once u put someone´s kids in it,tha s**t gets escalated,it aint just words no more is it,its a different ball game,callin names and u aint just rappin,we actually tried to stop tha 50 and Ja beef from happenin,me and Dre sat wit him,kicked it and had a chat wit him,and asked him not start it,he wasn´t gonna go after him until Ja started yappin in magazines how we stabbed him,f**k it 50 smash him,mash em and let em have it,meanwhile my attention is pullin in
other directions,some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk,has an erection for me and thinks that´ll be his resurrection,tries to blow tha dust of his mic and make a new record,but now hes f**ked tha game up,cos 1 of tha ways i came up,was through that publication,tha same 1 that made me famous,now tha owner has got a grudge against me for nothin,well f**k it,that muh f**ka can get it to,f**k him then,but im so busy bein p***ed off,i dont stop to think,that we inherited 50´s beef wit Murder Inc,and hes inherited mine,which is fine,aint like either of us mind,we still have soldiers thats on tha front line,thats willin to die for us as soon as we give tha orders,never extort us,strictly to show they support us,we´ll maybe shout em out in a rap or up in a chorus,to show em we love em back and let em know,
how important it is,to have Runyan Ave soldiers up in our corners,their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is,but i aint tryina have none of my people hurt and murdered,there aint words that i can think of,a perfecter way to word it,than to say i love yall to much to see tha verdict,i´ll walk away from it all before i let it go any further,but dont get it twisted,its not a plea that im coppin,im just willin to be tha bigger man,if yall can quit poppin off at tha jaws wit tha knockin,cos frankly im sick of talkin,im not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscious cos [Chorus].
