[00:00.261]Step by step, heart to heart
[00:03.186]Left, right, left, we all fall down...
[00:09.142]Step by step, heart to heart
[00:11.990]Left, right, left, we all fall down
[00:16.770]Like toy soldiers
[00:20.741]Bit by bit, torn apart
[00:23.510]We never win, but the battle wages on
[00:28.421]For toy soldiers
[00:32.208]I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
[00:35.317]Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
[00:38.008]I ain't never supposed to show it
[00:39.627]My crew ain't supposed to know it
[00:41.168]Even if it means goin' toe-to-toe with a Benzino
[00:43.885]It don't matter, I never drag 'em in battles that I can't handle
[00:46.837]'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
[00:52.871]If some sx1t ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
[00:55.640]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
[01:01.727]I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it
[01:04.444]It was crazy, the sx1t went way beyond some Jay-Z and Nas sx1t
[01:07.578]And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
[01:10.373]I spent so much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted
[01:13.195]And I'm so caught in it that I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
[01:16.329]This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, that's not why I got in it
[01:19.464]That was never my object, for someone to get killed
[01:22.233]Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build?
[01:25.133]That wasn't my intentions, my intentions were good
[01:27.928]I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' (*Suge*)
[01:30.827]And that was just outta respect, for not runnin' my mouth
[01:33.831]And talkin' about somethin' that I knew nothin' about
[01:36.600]Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef
[01:39.631]So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth
[01:42.556]While he's all over TV, down-talkin' the man
[01:45.560]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
[01:51.516]But still knowin' the sx1t could pop off at any minute, 'cause
[01:54.677]Step by step, heart to heart
[01:57.629]Left, right, left, we all fall down
[02:02.305]Like toy soldiers
[02:06.380]Bit by bit, torn apart
[02:09.175]We never win, but the battle wages on
[02:14.034]For toy soldiers
[02:18.031]There used to be a time when, you could just say a rhyme and
[02:20.800]Wouldn't have to worry about, one of your people dyin'
[02:23.804]But now it's elevated, 'cause once you put someone's kids in it
[02:26.912]The sx1t gets escalated, it ain't just words no more, is it?
[02:29.577]It's a different ballgame, you call names and you ain't just rappin'
[02:32.737]We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'
[02:35.742]Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him
[02:38.511]And asked him not to start it, he wasn't gonna go after him
[02:41.488]Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how he stabbed him
[02:44.493]Fvxk it, 50, smash him! Mash on him, let him have it
[02:47.288]Meanwhile my attention's pulled in another direction
[02:50.135]Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk
[02:52.878]Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection
[02:56.326]Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record
[02:59.017]But now he's fvxked the game up
[03:00.271]'Cause one of the ways I came up
[03:02.125]Was through that publication, the same one that made me famous
[03:04.816]Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'?
[03:07.820]Well, fvxk it, that motherfvxker could get it too, fvxk him then!
[03:10.902]But I'm so busy bein' pissed off, I don't stop to think
[03:13.541]That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc.
[03:16.545]And he's inherited mine, which is fine, ain't like either of us mind
[03:20.176]We still have soldiers that's on the front line
[03:22.318]Who's willin' to die for us as soon as we give the orders
[03:25.662]Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us
[03:28.431]And maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus
[03:31.278]To show 'em we love 'em back and let 'em know how important
[03:34.125]It is to have Runyon Avenue soldiers up in our corners
[03:37.208]Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is
[03:40.107]But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt or murdered
[03:42.955]It ain't worth it, I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
[03:45.854]Than to just say that I love y'all too much to see the verdict
[03:48.780]I'll walk away from it all 'fore I let it go any further
[03:52.097]But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'
[03:54.788]I'm just willin' to be the bigger man, if y'all can quit poppin'
[03:57.557]Off at the jaws, well, then I can, 'cause frankly I'm sick of talkin'
[04:00.561]I'm not gonna let someone else's coffin rest on my conscience, 'cause
[04:03.879]Step by step, heart to heart
[04:06.752]Left, right, left, we all fall down
[04:11.376]Like toy soldiers
[04:15.555]Bit by bit, torn apart
[04:18.298]We never win, but the battle wages on
[04:23.131]For toy soldiers
