[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com  [00:00.75]Step by step  heart to heart  left right left [00:05.05]We all fall down [00:09.49]Step by step  heart to heart  left right left [00:13.79]We all fall down like toy soldiers [00:21.60]Bit by bit  torn apart  we never win [00:25.62]But the battle wages on for toy soldiers [00:32.94]I'm supposed to be the soldier [00:34.32]Who never blows his posure [00:35.63]Even though I hold the weight of [00:37.36]The whole world on my shoulders [00:38.69]I am never supposed to show it [00:40.25]My crew ain't supposed to know it [00:41.74]Even if it means goin' toe to toe [00:43.33]With a Benzino it don't matter [00:45.02]I'd never drag them in battles [00:46.42]That I can handle unless I absolutely have to [00:49.00]I'm supposed to set an example [00:50.29]I need to be the leader [00:51.75]My crew looks for me to guide 'em [00:53.71]If some sh*t ever just pop off [00:55.31]I'm supposed to be beside 'em [00:56.65]Now Ja said  I tried to squash it [00:58.34]It was too late to stop it [00:59.68]There's a certain line you [01:00.68]Just don't cross and he crossed it [01:02.19]I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it [01:05.27]It was crazy [01:05.98]This sh*t be way beyond some Jay-z and Nas sh*t [01:08.10]And even though the battle was won [01:09.84]I feel like we lost it [01:11.16]I spent too much energy on it [01:12.76]Honestly I'm exhausted [01:13.87]And I'm so caught in it I almost feel [01:16.00]I'm the one who caused it [01:17.05]This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for  it's not why I got in it [01:20.09]That was never my object for someone to get killed [01:22.56]Why would I wanna destroy something I help build [01:25.54]It wasn't my intentions  my intentions was good [01:28.66]I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' Suge [01:31.36]And that was just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth [01:34.56]And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about [01:37.56]Plus Dre told me stay out  this just wasn't my beef [01:40.38]So I did  I just fell back  watched and gritted my teeth [01:43.33]While he's all over t v [01:44.86]Down talkin' a man who literally saved my life [01:47.47]Like f**k it i understand this is business [01:49.79]And this sh*t just isn't none of my business [01:52.41]But still knowin' this sh*t could pop off at any minute cuz [01:55.48]Step by step  heart to heart  left right left [01:59.34]We all fall down like toy soldiers [02:07.05]Bit by bit  torn apart  we never win [02:11.22]But the battle wages on for toy soldiers [02:18.73]There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme [02:21.48]And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin' [02:24.14]But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in it [02:27.34]The sh*t gets escalated  it ain't just words no more is it [02:30.30]It's a different ball game [02:31.49]Callin' names and you ain't just rappin' [02:32.96]We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin' [02:36.15]Me and Dre had sat with him [02:38.01]Kicked it and had a chat with him [02:39.55]And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him [02:42.20]Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him [02:45.19]F**k it 50 smash 'em  mash 'em and let him have it [02:48.06]Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions [02:50.61]Some receptionist at The Source [02:52.41]Who answers phones at his desk [02:53.87]Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his ressurection [02:56.36]Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record [02:59.72]But now he's f**ked the game up cuz one of the ways [03:02.17]I came up [03:02.85]Was through that publication the same one [03:04.46]That made me famous [03:05.41]Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin' [03:08.50]Well f**k it  that mutherf**ker can get it too  f**k him then [03:11.61]But I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think [03:14.22]That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc [03:16.90]And he's inherited mine [03:18.55]Which is fine ain't like either of us mind [03:20.80]We still have soldiers that's on the front line [03:23.12]That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders [03:26.24]Never to extort us  strictly to show they support us [03:28.94]We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus [03:32.20]To show them we love 'em back [03:33.77]And let 'em know how important it is [03:35.27]To have run ya nav and who sulked us up in our corners [03:38.66]Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is [03:41.00]But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered [03:43.87]There ain't words that I can't think of a perfecter way to word it [03:46.88]Then to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the virdict [03:49.51]I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further [03:52.32]But don't get it twisted  it's not a plea that I'm coppin' [03:55.82]I'm just willin' to be the bigger man [03:57.61]If ya'll can quit poppin' off at your jaws with the knockin' [04:00.13]Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin' [04:01.53]I'm not gonna let someone [04:02.56]Elses coffin rest on my conscience cuz [04:04.39]Step by step  heart to heart  left right left [04:08.46]We all fall down like toy soldiers [04:16.28]Bit by bit  torn apart  we never win [04:20.40]But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
