[00:00.000]Step by step, heart to heart
[00:03.000]Left, right, left, we all fall down...
[00:08.930]Step by step, heart to heart
[00:11.830]Left, right, left, we all fall down
[00:16.480]Like toy soldiers
[00:20.550]Bit by bit, torn apart
[00:23.380]We never win, but the battle wages on
[00:28.230]For toy soldiers
[00:31.920]I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
[00:35.180]Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
[00:37.850]I ain't never supposed to show it
[00:39.360]My crew ain't supposed to know it
[00:41.060]Even if it means goin' toe-to-toe with a Benzino
[00:43.590]It don't matter, I never drag 'em in battles that I can't handle
[00:46.700]'Less I absolutely have to, I'm supposed to set an example
[00:49.780]I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
[00:52.710]If some **** ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
[00:55.450]That Ja ****, I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
[00:58.740]There's a certain line you just don't cross, and he crossed it
[01:01.540]I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it
[01:04.260]It was crazy, the **** went way beyond some JAY-Z and Nas ****
[01:07.630]And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
[01:10.190]I spent so much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted
[01:13.090]And I'm so caught in it that I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
[01:16.250]This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, that's not why I got in it
[01:19.150]That was never my object, for someone to get killed
[01:21.990]Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build?
[01:24.920]That wasn't my intentions, my intentions were good
[01:27.710]I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' ****
[01:30.690]And that was just outta respect, for not runnin' my mouth
[01:33.640]And talkin' about somethin' that I knew nothin' about
[01:36.520]Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef
[01:39.520]So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth
[01:42.370]While he's all over TV, down-talkin' the man
[01:45.350]Who literally saved my life, like **** it, I understand
[01:48.380]This is business, and this **** just isn't none of my business
[01:51.430]But still knowin' the **** could pop off at any minute, 'cause—
[01:54.570]Step by step, heart to heart
[01:57.470]Left, right, left, we all fall down
[02:02.120]Like toy soldiers
[02:06.270]Bit by bit, torn apart
[02:08.990]We never win, but the battle wages on
[02:13.850]For toy soldiers
[02:17.820]There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme and
[02:20.590]Wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'
[02:23.620]But now it's elevated, 'cause once you put someone's kids in it
[02:26.650]The **** gets escalated — it ain't just words no more, is it?
[02:29.440]It's a different ballgame, you call names and you ain't just rappin'
[02:32.550]We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'
[02:35.610]Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him
[02:38.270]And asked him not to start it, he wasn't gonna go after him
[02:41.300]Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how he ******* ***
[02:44.380]**** it, 50, smash him! Mash on him, let him have it
[02:47.130]Meanwhile my attention's pulled in another direction
[02:49.900]Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk
[02:52.820]Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection
[02:56.090]Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record
[02:58.960]But now he's ****ed the game up
[03:00.210]'Cause one of the ways I came up
[03:01.860]Was through that publication, the same one that made me famous
[03:04.550]Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'?
[03:07.740]Well, **** it, that mother****** could get it too, **** him then!
[03:10.770]But I'm so busy bein' pissed off, I don't stop to think
[03:13.280]That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc.
[03:16.200]And he's inherited mine, which is fine, ain't like either of us mind
[03:19.880]But we still have soldiers that's on the front line
[03:22.000]Who's willin' to die for us as soon as we give the orders
[03:25.420]Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us
[03:28.300]And maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus
[03:30.960]To show 'em we love 'em back and let 'em know how important
[03:33.810]It is to have Runyon Avenue soldiers up in our corners
[03:37.020]Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is
[03:40.000]But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt or ******ed
[03:42.740]It ain't worth it, I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
[03:45.560]Than to just say that I love y'all too much to see the verdict
[03:48.570]I'll walk away from it all 'fore I let it go any further
[03:51.880]But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'
[03:54.520]I'm just willin' to be the bigger man, if y'all can quit poppin'
[03:57.470]Off at the jaws, well, then I can, 'cause frankly I'm sick of talkin'
[04:00.320]I'm not gonna let someone else's coffin rest on my conscience
[04:03.270]'Cause—
[04:03.640]Step by step, heart to heart
[04:06.570]Left, right, left, we all fall down
[04:11.190]Like toy soldiers
[04:15.340]Bit by bit, torn apart
[04:18.110]We never win, but the battle wages on
[04:22.940]For toy soldiers
