Like Toy Soldiers - Eminem

[00:00.444]Step by step, heart to heart
[00:03.187]Left, right, left, we all fall down (New York City! If you all know the words, sing it!)
[00:09.117]Step by step, heart to heart
[00:12.016]Left, right, left, we all fall down (Like what?)
[00:16.718]Like toy soldiers (C'mon, y'all)
[00:20.820]Bit by bit, torn apart
[00:23.589]We never win, but the battle wages on (For what?)
[00:28.630]For toy soldiers
[00:32.392]I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
[00:35.396]Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
[00:38.008]I ain't never supposed to show it
[00:39.654]My crew ain't supposed to know it
[00:41.247]Even if it means goin' toe-to-toe with a Benzino
[00:43.729]It don't matter, I never drag 'em in battles that I can't handle
[00:46.890]'Less I absolutely have to, I'm supposed to set an example
[00:49.946]I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
[00:52.898]If some sx1t ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
[00:55.667]That Ja sx1t, I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
[00:58.958]There's a certain line you just don't cross, and he crossed it
[01:01.701]I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it
[01:04.470]It was crazy, the sx1t went way beyond some Jay-Z and Nas sx1t
[01:07.736]And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
[01:10.400]I spent so much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted
[01:13.326]And I'm so caught in it that I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
[01:16.408]This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, that's not why I got in it
[01:19.282]That was never my object, for someone to get killed
[01:22.207]Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build?
[01:25.185]That wasn't my intentions, my intentions were good
[01:27.980]I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' [Suge]
[01:30.802]And that was just outta respect, for not runnin' my mouth
[01:33.858]And talkin' about somethin' that I knew nothin' about
[01:36.731]Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef
[01:39.683]So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth
[01:42.687]While he's all over TV, down-talkin' the man
[01:45.613]Who literally saved my life, like fvxk it, I understand
[01:48.382]This is business, and this sx1t just isn't none of my business
[01:51.517]But still knowin' the sx1t could pop off at any minute, 'cause—
[01:54.756]Step by step (C'mon!), heart to heart
[01:57.656]Left, right, left, we all fall down (Like what?)
[02:02.567]Like toy soldiers (C'mon, y'all)
[02:06.485]Bit by bit, torn apart
[02:09.358]We never win, but the battle wages on (For what?)
[02:14.296]For toy soldiers (One more time, just the ladies, just the ladies)
[02:18.240]Step by step, heart to heart
[02:20.983]Left, right, left, we all fall down (Like what? Like)
[02:25.998]Like toy soldiers
[02:41.881]Daxn, New York City
[02:46.922]Y'all are makin' me feel right at home right now
[03:03.197]Yo, I'm hearin' a lot from the people at front
[03:06.723]I'm not hearin' too much from the people in the back
[03:09.571]Everybody in the back and on top make some motherfvxkin' noise, y'all!
[03:09.310]Okay, y'all mind if I bring on some friends right quick?
