Like Toy Soldier by Eminem

(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 (1)__________ his composure
Even though I hold the weight of
The whole world on my shoulders
I am never supposed to show it
My crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it (2)__________ goin' toe to toe
With a Benzino it don't matter
I'd never (3)________ them in battles that
I can handle unless I absolutely (4)________ to
I'm (5)________________ to set an example
I (6)________ to be the leader
My crew looks for me to (7)__________ 'em
If some shit ever just pop off
I'm supposed to be beside 'em
Now Ja said "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 (8)________ (9)________ it
It was crazy
This (shit) be way beyond some Jay-z and Nas (shit)
And even though the battle was won
I feel (10)________ we (11)________ it
I (12)__________ too much energy on it
Honestly I'm exhausted
And I'm so caught in it I almost feel
I'm the one who (13)____________ 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 help build
It wasn't my intentions
My intentions was good
I went through my whole career
Without ever mentionin'...
Now it's 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 (14)________ fell back
Watched and gritted my teeth
While he's all over TV down talkin' a man
Who literally (15)__________ my life
Like (fuck) it I understand this is business
And (16)________ (shit) just isn't none of my business
But still knowin' this (shit) could pop off at any (17)____________ cuz
Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all (18)________ 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 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 (19)________ in it
The (shit) gets escalated
It ain't just (20)__________ no more is it?
It's a different ball game
Callin' names and you ain't just rappin'
We (21)________________ tried to stop the 50
And Ja (22)________ 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 other directions
Some receptionist at The Source
Who answers phones at his desk
Has an erection for me
And thinks that I'll be his ressurection
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 (23)______________ me for nothin'
Well (fuck) it, that (motherfucker) can get it too
(Fuck) him then
But I'm so busy (24)__________ pissed off
I don't (25)________ to think
That we just inherited 50's beef with (26)____________ 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 (27)________ 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 Runyan Avenue, soldiers up in our corners
Their loyalty to us is (28)__________ (29)________ 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 (30)________ ya'll too much
To see the verdict
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 with the knockin'
Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'
I'm not gonna let someone else's coffin
Rest on my conscience cuz
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
