Like Toy Soldiers - Eminem Lyrics
Artist: Eminem
Song: Like Toy Soldiers
Album: Encore
[B
u y "Encore" CD]
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 for 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 supposed to show it, my coins supposed to know it
Even if it means going toe-to-toe with the benzene, oh it don’t matter.
I’d never drag ‘em in battles that I can’t handle
Unless I absolutely have to, I’m supposed to set an example
I need to be the leader; my crew is for me to guide them
[missing] just pop off, I’m supposed to be beside them
[missing] 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 Hayley’s name on the song and I just lost it,
It was crazy [missing] jay-z and [someone] shit
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it,
I spent too much energy on it honestly I’m exhausted
And I’m so caught in it I almost feel like 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
Now it was never my object for someone to get killed,
Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build?
It wasn’t my intentions, my intentions were good,
I went through my whole career without ever mentioning [bleeped] [missing]
For not runnin’ my mouth, and talkin’ about something that I knew nothin’ about,
Plus Dre told me t’stay out; this just wasn’t my beef, so I did,
I just fell back, watched [missing] in my teeth,
While he’s all over TV [missing end of line, or next line too]
This is business, and this shit just isn’t none my business
But still don’t know when this shit could pop off any minute cos…
[Chorus]
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.
There used to be a time when,
We could just say a rhyme and wouldn’t have to worry about one of ya people dying,
But now it’s elevated ‘cause once you put someone’s kids in it,
this shit gets escalated [missing]
It’s a different ball game, you call names and you ain’t just rappin’,
We actually tried to stop [missing] from happenin’,
And 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 [someone] started yappin’ and magazines always stabbed him,
Fuck [missing] and let him have it,
[The bits missing above are to do with 50 Cent, but I’m not quite sure about it…]
Meanwhile my attentions pulled in another direction,
Some reception had set the source who answers phones at the 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 ‘cos one of the ways I came up,
Was through that publication - the same one that made me famous,
Now my own [someone] has got a grudge against me for nothing,
Well fuck it that motherfucker can get it too, fuck ‘em up
While I’m so busy being pissed off, I don’t stop to think,
[missing] 50’s beef with murdered ink,
And he’s inherited mine, which is fine, ain’t like either of us mind,
We still have soldiers on our front line who’s willing to die for us,
As soon as we give the orders,
Never to extort us, strictly to show they’re supporters
That maybe [missing]
To show ‘em we love ‘em back, and let ‘em know how important it is
To have [missing]
The loyalty to us is worth more than any of your orders
Well I ain’t trying to have none of my people hurt or murdered,
It ain’t worth it, I can’t think of a perfecter way to word it,
You could jus’ say that I love y’all too much to see the verdict,
I walk away from it all, b’fore I let it go any further
Now don’t get twisted, it’s not a plea that I’m poppin,
I’m just willin to be the bigger man, if y’all would quit poppin off at your jars [missing]
‘Cos frankly I’m sick of talking, I’m not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience.
[Chorus]
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.
