Like Toy Soldiers Chords by Eminem

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It's like [B] a soldier,
_ [C#m] in the middle of the army.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A#] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A#] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _
I'm a [C#m] soldier! _ _ _ _
_ _ I'm supposed to be the [F#] soldier,
who never blows his [C#m] composure.
Even though I hold the weight of [D#] the whole world on my [A] shoulders,
I ain't never supposed to show it.
[G#m] My crew ain't supposed to know it.
[C#m] But if it means going toe to toe with the [G#m] Benzino,
it [C#] don't matter.
I never drag [F#] them in battles that I [C#m] can handle,
unless I absolutely have to.
[D#] I'm supposed to set an [C#m] example.
[A] I need to be the leader.
[G#] My crew looks for me to guide [C#m] them.
Some shit up will just pop off.
I'm supposed to [G#m] be beside them.
That jock said I tried to squash [F#] it.
It was too late to stop [A] it.
There's a certain line you [D#] just don't [A] cross,
and he crossed it.
I heard him say Haley's [G#m] name on a song,
and I just lost [C#m] it.
It's crazy this shit,
and maybe on some Jay-Z and Nas shit.
And even though the battle [F#] was won,
I feel like we lost [C#m] it.
I spent so much energy [D#] on it.
Honestly, I'm [A] exhausted.
And I'm so caught in it,
I [G#m] almost feel I'm the one who caused [C#m] it.
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for.
It's [G#m] not why I got [E] in it.
I was never my object [F#] for someone to get killed.
[C#m] Why would I want to destroy [G#]
something [A] I helped build?
It wasn't my intentions.
[G#m]
My intentions was good.
[C#m] I went through my whole career without ever [G#m] mentioning.
Damn, he's just out of respect
[F#] for not running my mouth
[C#] and talking about something [D#] that I knew [A] nothing about.
Plus, Grey told me stay out.
[G#] This just wasn't my beef, [C#m] so I did.
I [G#m] just felt bad, watched and gritted my teeth
while he was all over the TV.
[F#]
Now I'm talking to a man [C#m] who literally saved my life.
[D#] Like, fuck it, I understand.
[A] This is business,
and this shit [G#] just isn't none of my business.
[C#m] Cause you know when this shit can pop off at any minute.
[E] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A#] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Used to be a time [F#] when
you could just say a rhyme
[C#m] and wouldn't have to worry [D#] about
one of your people [A] dying.
But now it's elevated.
[G#m] Cause once you get so much kids [C#m] in it,
this shit gets escalated.
It [D#] ain't this verse no more, is [C#m] it?
It's a different ballgame.
You [F#] call names and you ain't just [Em] rapping.
He actually tried to stop [D#] 50 and Javi from [A] happening.
Me and Dre attacked [G#m] with him,
kicked it and had a chat [C#m] with him.
And asked him not to start it.
He wasn't [D#] gonna go [C#m] after her
until Jive started [F#] gapping.
We were in magazines, how we stabbed [A] him.
Fuck it, we smash [G#m] him,
mass on him, let him [A] have it.
Meanwhile, my [G#m] attention's pulled in another direction.
[C#m] Some receptionist said the source who answers phone
to this desk [C#] has an erection for me.
[F#m] Thinks that I'll be his resurrection.
[C#m] Tries to blow the dust [D#] off his mic
and make a new [A] record.
But now he's fucked the game [G#m] up.
Cause look at the ways I came [C#m] up.
He slew that publication,
the same one [B] that made me famous.
[C#m] Now I'm the owner of it.
He's [F#] got a grudge against me [G#m] for [C#m] nothing.
Well, fuck it, that [D#] motherfucker could get it too.
[A] Fuck it.
But I'm so busy being [G#m] pissed off,
I don't stop to think.
[C#m] He's just inherited 50's beef [D#] from Murder Inc.
[C#m] And he's inherited [F#] mine.
Which is fine, ain't like either [C#m] of us mine.
We still have [E] soldiers that's on the front lines.
[A] Looking to die for [G#m] us.
Assuming we keep the orders.
[C#m] Never to distort us,
strictly [G#m] to show they support us.
Maybe shout him out in a rap or up in a [E] chorus
to show him we love him [D#m] back
and let him [A] know how important it is
to have Runyon [G#] Avenue soldiers up in our corners.
[C#] Their loyalty to us was more than [E] any award is.
But I ain't trying to have [F#] none of my people hurt him.
