文本歌词

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 blows his posure
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 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 sh*t 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 just lost it
It was crazy
This sh*t be way beyond some Jay-z and Nas sh*t
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 help build
It wasn't my intentions my intentions was good
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' Suge
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 t v
Down talkin' a man who literally saved my life
Like f**k it i understand this is business
And this sh*t just isn't none of my business
But still knowin' this sh*t could pop off at any minute 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
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 sh*t 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
F**k 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 f**ked 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 f**k it that mutherf**ker can get it too f**k 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 run ya nav and who sulked us 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
There ain't words that 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 with the knockin'
Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'
I'm not gonna let someone
Elses 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
