[00:00.00]Like Toy Soldiers - Eminem (埃米纳姆)
[00:01.16]Step by step' heart to heart' left right left
[00:04.60]We all fall down
[00:06.24]
[00:09.28]Step by step' heart to heart' left right left
[00:13.47]We all fall down like toy soldiers
[00:18.36]
[00:21.11]Bit by bit' torn apart' we never win
[00:25.17]But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
[00:30.05]
[00:32.47]I'm supposed to be the soldier
[00:33.91]Who never blows his composure
[00:35.34]Even though I hold the weight of
[00:36.82]The whole world on my shoulders
[00:38.22]I am never supposed to show it' my crew
[00:40.16]Ain't supposed to know it
[00:41.28]Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a
[00:43.43]Benzino it don't matter
[00:44.31]I'd never drag them in battles
[00:46.06]That I can handle unless I absolutely have to
[00:48.27]I'm supposed to set an example
[00:49.79]I need to be the leader' my crew
[00:51.91]Looks for me to guide 'em
[00:53.03]If some sh*t ever just pop off'
[00:54.48]I'm supposed to be beside 'em
[00:55.82]Now Ja said"I tried to squash it'
[00:57.52]It was too late to stop it"
[00:58.98]There's a certain line you just
[01:00.49]Don't cross and he crossed it
[01:01.66]I heard him say Hailie's name on
[01:03.36]A song and I just lost it
[01:04.74]It was crazy' this sh*t be way beyond
[01:06.34]Some Jay-z and Nas sh*t
[01:07.64]And even though the battle was won'
[01:09.33]I feel like we lost it
[01:10.61]I spent too much energy on it' honestly
[01:12.67]I'm exhausted
[01:13.08]And I'm so caught in it I almost feel
[01:15.12]I'm the one who caused it
[01:16.32]This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for'
[01:18.16]It's not why I got in it
[01:19.66]That was never my object for someone to get killed
[01:22.17]Why would I wanna destroy something I help build
[01:25.36]It wasn't my intentions' my intentions was good
[01:28.06]I went through my whole career without ever mentionin'
[01:30.83]
[01:37.18]Plus Dre told me stay out' this just wasn't my beef
[01:39.90]So I did' I just fell back' watched and gritted my teeth
[01:42.83]While he's all over t v down talkin' a man
[01:45.65]Who literally saved my life
[01:46.88]Like f**k it i understand this is business
[01:49.27]And this sh*t just isn't none of my business
[01:51.66]But still knowin' this sh*t could pop off
[01:53.24]At any minute cuz
[01:54.84]Step by step' heart to heart' left right left
[01:59.08]We all fall down like toy soldiers
[02:04.08]
[02:06.71]Bit by bit' torn apart' we never win
[02:10.79]But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
[02:15.87]
[02:18.29]There used to be a time
[02:19.37]When you could just say a rhyme
[02:20.87]And wouldn't have to
[02:21.92]Worry about one of your people dyin'
[02:23.62]But now it's elevated
[02:24.75]Cuz once you put someone's kids in it
[02:26.75]The sh*t gets escalated'
[02:27.62]It ain't just words no more is it
[02:29.62]It's a different ball game' callin' names
[02:31.52]And you ain't just rappin'
[02:32.88]We actually tried to stop the 50
[02:34.59]And Ja beef from happenin'
[02:35.79]Me and Dre had sat with him' kicked it
[02:37.89]And had a chat with him
[02:39.26]And asked him not to start
[02:40.26]It he wasn't gonna go after him
[02:41.39]Until Ja started yappin' in magazines
[02:42.48]
[02:43.61]How we stabbed him
[02:44.63]F**k it 50 smash 'em' mash 'em and let him have it
[02:47.58]Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions
[02:50.16]Some receptionist at The Source
[02:51.90]Who answers phones at his desk
[02:53.28]Has an erection for me and thinks
[02:55.04]That I'll be his ressurection
[02:56.36]Tries to blow the dust off his mic
[02:58.11]And make a new record
[02:59.24]But now he's f**ked the game up
[03:00.68]Cuz one of the ways I came up
[03:02.30]Was through that publication the same one
[03:04.02]That made me famous
[03:04.80]Now the owner of it has got a grudge
[03:06.76]Against me for nothin'
[03:07.69]Well f**k it' that mutherf**ker can
[03:09.67]Get it too' f**k him then
[03:11.14]But I'm so busy being pissed off
[03:12.70]I don't stop to think
[03:13.76]That we just inherited 50's beef with
[03:15.84]Murder Inc
[03:16.81]And he's inherited mine which is fine
[03:18.31]Ain't like either of us mind
[03:20.25]We still have soldiers that's on the front line
[03:22.24]That's willing to die for us as soon as
[03:24.57]We give the orders
[03:25.43]Never to extort us' strictly to show they support us
[03:28.32]We'll maybe shout 'em out
[03:29.77]In a rap or up in a chorus
[03:31.51]To show them we love 'em back
[03:33.04]And let 'em know how important it is
[03:34.71]To have run ya nav and
[03:35.67]Who sulked us up in our corners
[03:37.18]Their loyalty to us is worth
[03:38.53]More than any award is
[03:39.71]But I ain't tryna have none of
[03:41.99]My people hurt and murdered
[03:43.16]There ain't words that I can't think of
[03:44.76]A perfecter way to word it
[03:45.94]Then to just say that I love ya'll
[03:47.49]Too much to see the virdict
[03:48.70]I'll walk away from it all before
[03:50.22]I let it go any further
[03:51.51]But don't get it twisted' it's not a plea
[03:54.21]That I'm coppin'
[03:54.90]I'm just willin' to be the bigger man
[03:56.69]If ya'll can quit poppin' off
[03:57.90]At your jaws with the knockin'
[03:59.20]Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'
[04:00.60]I'm not gonna let someone elses
[04:01.96]Coffin rest on my conscience cuz
[04:03.84]Step by step' heart to heart' left right left
[04:08.13]We all fall down like toy soldiers
[04:13.40]
[04:15.79]Bit by bit' torn apart' we never win
[04:19.82]But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
