[00:00.00]Like Toy Soldiers - Eminem (埃米纳姆)
[00:00.50]Step by step heart to heart left right left
[00:04.42]We all fall down
[00:09.23]Step by step heart to heart left right left
[00:13.27]We all fall down like toy soldiers
[00:21.12]Bit by bit torn apart we never win
[00:25.07]But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
[00:32.37]I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
[00:35.01]Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
[00:37.43]I am never supposed to show it my crew ain't supposed to know it
[00:41.06]Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter
[00:44.08]I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to
[00:47.46]I'm supposed to set an example
[00:49.59]I need to be the leader my crew looks for me to guide 'em
[00:52.76]If some sh*t ever just pop off I'm supposed to be beside 'em
[00:55.23]Now Ja said I tried to squash it it was too late to stop it
[00:58.65]There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it
[01:01.58]I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it
[01:04.62]It was crazy this sh*t be way beyond some Jay-z and Nas sh*t
[01:07.33]And even though the battle was won I feel like we lost it
[01:10.02]I spent too much energy on it honestly I'm exhausted
[01:12.73]And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
[01:16.33]This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for it's not why I got in it
[01:19.31]That was never my object for someone to get killed
[01:21.94]Why would I wanna destroy something I help build
[01:25.10]It wasn't my intentions my intentions was good
[01:28.09]I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' Suge
[01:30.87]Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth
[01:33.96]And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about
[01:36.70]Plus Dre told me stay out this just wasn't my beef
[01:39.26]So I did I just fell back watched and gritted my teeth
[01:42.52]While he's all over tv down talkin' a man who literally saved my life
[01:47.07]Like f**k it i understand this is business
[01:49.41]And this sh*t just isn't none of my business
[01:51.51]But still knowin' this sh*t could pop off at any minute cuz
[01:54.88]Step by step heart to heart left right left
[01:58.79]We all fall down
[02:06.54]Step by step heart to heart left right left
[02:10.46]We all fall down like toy soldiers
[02:18.08]There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme
[02:21.01]And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'
[02:23.73]But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in it
[02:26.63]The sh*t gets escalated it ain't just words no more is it
[02:29.90]It's a different ball game callin' names and you ain't just rappin'
[02:32.35]We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'
[02:35.58]Me and Dre had sat with him kicked it and had a chat with him
[02:38.52]And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him
[02:40.92]Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him
[02:44.35]F**k it 50 smash 'em mash 'em and let him have it
[02:46.87]Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions
[02:49.58]Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk
[02:52.75]Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection
[02:55.80]Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record
[02:58.89]But now he's f**ked the game up cuz one of the ways I came up
[03:01.90]Was through that publication the same one that made me famous
[03:04.51]Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'
[03:07.14]Well f**k it that motherf**ker can get it too f**k him then
[03:09.79]But I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think
[03:13.65]That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc
[03:16.52]And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind
[03:19.95]We still have soldiers that's on the front line
[03:22.11]That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders
[03:25.43]Never to extort us strictly to show they support us
[03:28.22]We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus
[03:31.00]To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is
[03:34.46]To have Runyan Ave and who sulked us up in our corners
[03:36.80]Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is
[03:40.11]But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered
[03:42.57]There ain't words that I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
[03:45.55]Then to just say that I love y'all too much to see the verdict
[03:48.73]I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further
[03:51.99]But don't get it twisted it's not a plea that I'm coppin'
[03:54.54]I'm just willin' to be the bigger man
[03:56.18]If ya'll can quit poppin' off at your jaws with the knockin'
[03:58.77]Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'
[04:00.70]I'm not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience cuz
[04:03.84]Step by step heart to heart left right left
[04:07.98]We all fall down
[04:15.70]Step by step heart to heart left right left
[04:19.50]We all fall down like toy soldiers
