作曲 : Marshall Mathers/Luis Resto |
| [00:00.590] |
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left |
| [00:03.910] |
We all fall down... |
| [00:06.580] |
|
| [00:08.810] |
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left |
| [00:12.650] |
We all fall down like toy soldiers |
| [00:20.120] |
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win |
| [00:24.440] |
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers |
| [00:31.570] |
|
| [00:31.800] |
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure |
| [00:34.570] |
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders |
| [00:37.350] |
I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it |
| [00:40.330] |
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter |
| [00:43.870] |
I'd never drag them in battles |
| [00:45.190] |
that I can handle unless I absolutely have to |
| [00:47.650] |
I'm supposed to set an example |
| [00:49.040] |
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em |
| [00:52.140] |
If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em |
| [00:54.940] |
Now Ja said "I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it" |
| [00:57.920] |
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it |
| [01:00.880] |
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it |
| [01:03.770] |
It was crazy, this shit be way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit |
| [01:06.760] |
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it |
| [01:09.510] |
I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted |
| [01:12.510] |
And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it |
| [01:15.450] |
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it |
| [01:18.580] |
That was never my object for someone to get killed |
| [01:21.300] |
Why would I wanna destroy something I help build |
| [01:24.210] |
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good |
| [01:27.070] |
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' (?) |
| [01:35.730] |
Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef |
| [01:38.690] |
So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth |
| [01:41.610] |
While he's all over t.v. down talkin' a man who literally saved my life |
| [01:45.880] |
Like **** it i understand this is business |
| [01:48.310] |
And this shit just isn't none of my business |
| [01:50.500] |
But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cuz |
| [01:53.620] |
|
| [01:53.850] |
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left |
| [01:57.830] |
We all fall down like toy soldiers |
| [02:05.210] |
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win |
| [02:09.570] |
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers |
| [02:16.910] |
|
| [02:17.140] |
There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme |
| [02:19.480] |
And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin' |
| [02:22.500] |
But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in it |
| [02:25.640] |
The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it? |
| [02:28.540] |
It's a different ball game, callin' names and you ain't just rappin' |
| [02:31.410] |
We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin' |
| [02:34.400] |
Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him |
| [02:37.290] |
And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him |
| [02:40.120] |
Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him |
| [02:43.160] |
**** it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have it |
| [02:46.030] |
Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions |
| [02:48.680] |
Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk |
| [02:52.000] |
Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his ressurection |
| [02:54.760] |
Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record |
| [02:57.580] |
But now he's ****ed the game up cuz one of the ways I came up |
| [03:00.570] |
Was through that publication the same one that made me famous |
| [03:03.320] |
Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin' |
| [03:06.470] |
Well **** it, that muther****er can get it too, **** him then |
| [03:09.510] |
But I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think |
| [03:12.130] |
That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc. |
| [03:15.080] |
And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind |
| [03:18.600] |
We still have soldiers that's on the front line |
| [03:20.870] |
That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders |
| [03:23.930] |
Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us |
| [03:26.720] |
We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus |
| [03:29.600] |
To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is |
| [03:32.820] |
To have run ya nav and who sulked us up in our corners |
| [03:35.520] |
Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is |
| [03:38.580] |
But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered |
| [03:41.440] |
There ain't words that I can't think of a perfecter way to word it |
| [03:44.300] |
Then to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the virdict |
| [03:47.200] |
I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further |
| [03:50.160] |
But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin' |
| [03:53.090] |
I'm just willin' to be the bigger man |
| [03:54.840] |
If ya'll can quit poppin' off at your jaws with the knockin' |
| [03:57.530] |
Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin' |
| [03:58.890] |
I'm not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience cuz |
| [04:02.080] |
|
| [04:02.320] |
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left |
| [04:06.260] |
We all fall down like toy soldiers |
| [04:13.650] |
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win |
| [04:18.000] |
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers |
| [04:25.830] |
|
| [04:29.300] |
