[00:00.00] 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]
