Like Toy Soldiers Lyrics
Artist(Band):Eminem
Review The Song (38)Print the Lyrics
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down...

[Chorus]
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
piece by piece, torn apart, we never win but the battle wages on for toy soldiers

[Verse 1]
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 ever supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino, it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless 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 just 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, this shit went way beyond some Jay-Z and Nas 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 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 wanna destroy something 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 something that I knew nothing 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 down-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
But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cuz
[Chorus]
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
piece by piece, torn apart, we never win but the battle wages on for toy soldiers

[Verse 2]
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 cuz 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, callin' 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 we stabbed him
Fuck it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have it
Meanwhile my attention is pullin' 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 cuz 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 can get it too, fuck him then
But I'm so busy being 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 willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders
Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us
We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a 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 tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered
It ain't worth it, I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
Then to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the virdict
I'll walk away from it all before 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 ya'll can quit poppin' off at your jaws well then i can
Cause frankly I'm sick of talkin'
I'm not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience cause...

[Chorus]
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
piece by piece, torn apart, we never win but the battle wages on for toy soldiers

Step by step, heart to heart, left right left

EM | Reviewer: james | 12/17/2007

West Coast Freestyle you are a complete moron. Get ur facts straight before you open ur mouth. I think this song is brilliant... it shows hat rap battles can get out of control. Eminem is just a genius with words.



Ah-maze-ing | Reviewer: Ellie | 12/13/2007

this song is something different, it has a steady beat, and lyrics that breathe, that is low that Ja would dump on Hailie it's one thing to go after fellow rapper but their kids that is wrong and sad and really low!!! 831 Ellie from Wisconsin

Em and Pac beef? What? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/29/2007

West Coast Freestyle: Are you kidding me? Eminem didn't even KNOW Pac. Pac died before Em' came up. Now tell me how he caused Pac's death.

And just so you know, it was Ja Rule talking shit about Hailie. Read the fuckin lines:

"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"

He's referring to Ja Rule's song Loose Change in which Ja Rule went on dissing Em, Pac, Dre, 50, and Hailie. At the end of the song, he says "Em, you claim your mother's a crack head and kim is a known slut, so what's Hailie gonna be when she grows up?" To this, Em (and the others) came back at him with Doe Ray Me. I'm so glad you make sure you know what you're talking about before you speak.



this is to "???????" | Reviewer: bawan | 10/25/2007

i thik ur right who ever you are "???????" this song is very emotional the first time i heard it i felt tears, it just goes to show u how much marshall goes throuh and people think hes a sob (if you agree please reply)



Eastern Phenom | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/22/2007
