[chorus-]
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 suppose to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
I ain’t never suppose to show it, my crew ain’t suppose to know it
Even if it means going toe to toe with the Benzino, it don’t matter
I never drag ‘em in battles that I can handle less I absolutely have to
I’m suppose to set an example, I need to be the leader
My crew looks for me to guide ’em
If some shit ever just pop off I’m suppose to be beside ‘em
That Ja shit, I tried to squashed it, it was too late to stop it
There’s a certain line, you just don’t cross it, and he crossed it
I heard him say Hailie’s name on a song and I just lost it
It was crazy, this shit went way beyond some Jay Z and Nas shit
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it

I’m so caught it I almost feel like 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
Now it’s never my object to for someone to get killed
Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build
It wasn’t my intentions, my intentions were good
I went through my whole career with out ever mentioning ____
And that’s just outta respect for not running my mouth
And talking about something that I knew nothing about
Plus Dre told me stay out, just wasn’t my beef, So I did
I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth while he’s all over TV
Now I’m talking a man who literally saved my live, like fuck it
I understand, this is business and this shit just isn’t none of my business
But still knowing this shit could pop off at any minute
[chorus]
It used to be time when you could just say a rhyme
And wouldn’t have to worry about one of your people dying
But now it’s el
