Like Toy Soldiers (Produced By Eminem)
Eminem F/

Step by step, heart to heart

Left right left, we all fall down


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

We're toy soldiers


I'm supposed to be the soldier, who never blows his composure

Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders

I ain't never 'sposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it

Even if it means goin' toe to toe with the Benzino


It don't matter, I'd never drag 'em in battles that I can handle

'Less I absolutely have to, I'm supposed to set an example

I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em

If some shit ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em


That Ja shit, I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it

There's a certain line, you just don't cross and he crossed it

I heard him say Hailie's name on a song, and I just lost it

It was crazy, the shit went way beyond some Jay-Z and Nas shit


And even though the battle is won, I feel like we lost it

I spent so much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted

And I'm so caught in it, I almost feel, I'm the one who caused it

This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it


That was never my object, for someone to get killed

Why would I want to destroy somethin' I helped build?

It wasn't my intentions, my intentions were good

I went through my whole career without ever mentionin'


And that was just out of respect, for not runnin' my mouth

And talkin' about somethin' that I knew nothin' about

Plus 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, now I'm talkin' a man

Who literally saved my life, like fuck it I understand

This is business, and this shit just isn't none of my business

I'm still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute, because


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

We're toy soldiers


There used to be a time when, you could just say a rhyme and


Wouldn't have to worry about, one of your people dyin'

But now it's elevated, 'cause once you put someone's kids in it

The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?


It's a different ball game, you call names and you ain't just rappin'

We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'

Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him

And asked him not to start it, he wasn't gonna go after him


Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how he stabbed him

Fuck him, 50 smash him, mash him and let him have it

Meanwhile, my attention's pulled in another direction

Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk


Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection

Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record

But now he's fucked the game up, 'cause one of the ways I came up

Was through that publication, the same one that made me famous


Now the owner of it, has got a grudge against me for nothin'?

Well, fuck it, that motherfucker could get it too, fuck him then

But I'm so busy bein pissed off, I don't stop to think

That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder INC


And he's inherited mine, which is fine, ain't like either of us mind

We still have soldiers that's on the front line

That's willin' to die for us as soon as we give the orders

Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us


And maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in the chorus

To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is

To have Runyon Avenue soldiers up in our corners

Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is


But I ain't tryin' to have none of people hurt or murdered

It ain't worth it that I can't think of a perfecter way to word it

Than to just say that I love y'all too much to see the verdict

I'll walk away from it all, 'fore I let it go any further


But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'

I'm just willin to be the bigger man if y'all can quit poppin'

Off at your jaws, well then I can, cause frankly I'm sick of talkin'

I'm not gonna let someone else's coffin rest on my conscience 'cause


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

We're toy soldiers
