專輯：安可秀 (Encore)
歌曲：Like 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 spent so much energy
on it honestly I'm exhausted
I'm so caught
it I almost
feel like I'm the one
who caused it
what I'm in hip hop
This ain't
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
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 elevated
cause once you put
someone's kids in it
Shit gets escalated
it ain't just words no more
is it It's a
different ball game
call names
and you ain't just rapping
We actually tried to stop
the 50 and Ja
beef from happening
Me and Dre had sat with him
kicked it and had a
chat with him
And asked him not to start it
he wasn't gonna go after him
Until Ja start gabbing
in magazines
how he stabbed him
Fuck it 50, smash him
mash him and let him have it
Meanwhile my
intentions pulley'd in
other directions
Some receptionist
said the source who
answers phones at
his desk has
an erection for me
and thinks that I'll be
his resurrection
Tries to blow the dust of his
mic and make a new record
But now
he's fucked the game up
cause one
of the ways I came was
through that publication
the same one
that made me famous
Now the owner of it
got a grudge against me
for nothing
but fuck it That motha fucker
can get it too
fuck em then
But I'm so busy being
pissed off
I don't stop to think
That we just inherited
50's beef with murder inc
And he's inherited mine
which is fine
ain't like either of us mind
Still have soldiers that is on
the front line
that's willing to die for us
As soon as we give the orders
never to extort us
Strictly to show
they support us
Maybe shout em out
in a rap or up in chorus
to show we love em back
And to let em know
how important is
to have Runyon Avenue
soldiers up in our corners
Their loyalty to us
is worth more then
any award is
But I ain't trying to have
none of me people
hurt or murdered
It ain't worth it
I can't think of
a perfecter way to word it
Then to just say
that I love y'all too much
to see the verdict
I'll walk away from it all
before I'll let it go
any further
Now don't get it twisted
it's not a plea
that I'm coping
I'm just willing to be
the bigger man
If y'all can quiet popping off
at the jaws with the knocking
Cause frankly
I'm sick of talking
I'm not
gonna let someone else's
coffin rest on my conscious
