Eminem – Toy Soldiers
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
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
We each have a star, all we have to do is find it
Once you do, everyone who sees it will be blinded
So what we get drunk?
So what we smoke weed?
We’re just having fun
We don’t care who sees
So what we go out?
That’s how its supposed to be
Living young and wild and free
Turn up the lights in here, baby
Extra bright, I want y’all to see this
Turn up the lights in here, baby
You know what I need, want you to see everything
Want you to see all of the lights
See I know ways around complicated matters
Roll up in the ghetto on the island of Manhattan
Trouble on my mind
I got trouble on my mind
Trouble on my mind
So much trouble on my mind
I grew up without my pops should that make me bitter?
I caught cases I copped out does that make me a quitter?
It’s so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
I’m ghetto, excuse me
My life is a movie
I heard a certain who’s who mad that I like the danger
Get your priorities straight like Hermione Granger
She say she only f….. like 4, 5 ……, so you know you gotta multiply by 3
I’ve been thinkin’ bout you, do you think about me still?
Do ya, do ya?
And I will never stop, like I’m running from the cops
Hop up in my car and told my chauffeur, “To the top!”
Life is such a f…… roller coaster, then it drops
But what should I scream for? This is my theme park
If what they say is “Nothing is forever”
Then what makes, then what makes, then what makes
Then what makes, what makes, what makes
Love the exception?
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the camera’s here
Damage to your medulla, cerebrum and cerebellum
If ya got a crew ya better tell em
Never found virtue from patience
In a dark room just pacin’
Precious time is just wastin’
You do not know what we facin’
I cannot be complacent
In my job, be courageous
If you admire somebody you should go on ‘head tell ’em
People never get the flowers while they can still smell ’em
Stay far from timid
Only make moves when your heart’s in it
And live the phrase Sky’s The Limit
I’m anti-Santa Maria
Only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace
You see you wouldn’t ask why the rose that grew from the concrete
Had damaged petals. On the contrary, we would all celebrate its
Tenacity
The moon talk to the sea and speak the body language fluently
She makes it rain
I’m representin’ for them gangstas all across the world
Still hittin’ them corners in them lo-lo’s, girl
Still takin’ my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it’s the D.R.E.
If I had a dollar
For every time I couldn’t sleep
I could buy a million locks
And finally read a book in peace
I say it’s my world, and I won’t stop
And if you stand in my way you bound to get dropped
Try to make some sense of all this shit in my brain
One foot stuck in a tar pit of my ways
Once in a blue I check to see how you’re doin
I know you need loot, so I send it through Western Union
Everybody claim they the best and they head the throne
Since B.I.G is gone, if you ask me, they “Dead Wrong”
Look hey I smoke too much:
The problems of a twenty-something
I drink too often, there’s liquor pouring from the faucet
I’m out for presidents to represent me
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothin’ left
‘Cause I’ve been blastin’ and laughin’ so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
California love
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of L.A
In the city of good ol’ Watts
In the city, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin’
See the big black picture if you look inside of my mind
It’s graphic, expressed it drastic
Thinking of a master plan
Cause ain’t nothing but sweat inside my hand
Poisonous sting, which thumps up and act chumps
Rae’s a heavy generator, but yo, guess who’s the black Trump?
