Текст песни с аккордами
[Вступление]:
C#m C#7sus4
I`m bored let`s do something else
C#m7 C#sus2 A G#m C#m C#m ***
I got this book...one day i give it to you
E B
Step by step, heart to heart
C#m Emaj7 A ***
Left, right, left, we all fall down...
[Припев]:
E B
Step by step, heart to heart
C#m Emaj7 A
Left, right, left, we all fall down
B C#m B
Like toy soldiers
E B
Bit by bit, torn apart
C#m Emaj7 A
We never win, but the battle wages on
B C#m
For toy soldiers
[Куплет 1]:
C#m C#7sus4
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
C#m7 C#sus2
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
A
I ain't never supposed to show it
G#m
My crew ain't supposed to know it
C#m
Even if it means goin' toe-to-toe with a Benzino
C#m C#7sus4
It don't matter, I never drag 'em in battles that I can't handle
C#m7 C#sus2
'Less I absolutely have to, I'm supposed to set an example
A G#m
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
C#m
If some shit ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
C#m C#7sus4
That Ja shit, I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
C#m7 C#sus2
There's a certain line you just don't cross, and he crossed it
A G#m
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it
C#m
It was crazy, the shit went way beyond some JAY-Z and Nas shit
C#m C#7sus4
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
C#m7 C#sus2
I spent so much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted
A G#m
And I'm so caught in it, I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
C#m
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it
C#m C#7sus4
That was never my object, for someone to get killed
C#m7 C#sus2
Why would I wanna destroy somethin' I helped build?
A G#m
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions were good
C#m
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' ****
C#m C#7sus4
And that was just outta respect, for not runnin' my mouth
C#m7 C#sus2
And talkin' about somethin' that I knew nothin' about
A G#m
Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef
C#m
So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth
C#m C#7sus4
While he's all over TV, down-talkin' the man
C#m7 C#sus2
Who literally saved my life, like fuck it, I understand
A G#m
This is business, and this shit just isn't none of my business
C#m
But still knowin' the shit could pop off at any minute, 'cause
[Припев]:
E B
Step by step, heart to heart
C#m Emaj7 A
Left, right, left, we all fall down
B C#m B
Like toy soldiers
E B
Bit by bit, torn apart
C#m Emaj7 A
We never win, but the battle wages on
B C#m
For toy soldiers
[Куплет 2]:
C#m C#7sus4
There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme and
C#m7 C#sus2
Wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'
A G#m
But now it's elevated, 'cause once you put someone's kids in it
C#m
The shit gets escalated—it ain't just words no more, is it?
C#m C#7sus4
It's a different ballgame, you call names and you ain't just rappin'
C#m7 C#sus2
We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'
A G#m
Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him
C#m
And asked him not to start it, he wasn't gonna go after him
C#m C#7sus4
Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how he stabbed him
C#m7 C#sus2
Fuck it, 50, smash him! Mash on him, let him have it
A G#m
Meanwhile my attention's pulled in another direction
C#m
Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk
C#m C#7sus4
Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection
C#m7 C#sus2
Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record
A G#m
But now he's fucked the game up 'cause one of the ways I came up
C#m
Was through that publication, the same one that made me famous
C#m C#7sus4
Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'?
C#m7 C#sus2
Well, fuck it, that motherfucker could get it too, fuck him then!
A G#m
But I'm so busy bein' pissed off, I don't stop to think
C#m
That we've just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc.
C#m C#7sus4 C#m7
And he's inherited mine, which is fine, ain't like either of us mind
C#sus2
We still have soldiers that's on the front line
A G#m
Who's willin' to die for us as soon as we give the orders
C#m
Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us
C#m C#7sus4
And maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus
C#m7 C#sus2
To show 'em we love 'em back and let 'em know how important
A G#m
It is to have Runyon Avenue soldiers up in our corners
C#m
Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is
C#m C#7sus4
But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt or murdered
C#m7 C#sus2
It ain't worth it, I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
A G#m
Than to just say that I love y'all too much to see the verdict
C#m
I'll walk away from it all 'fore I let it go any further
C#m C#7sus4
But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'
C#m7 C#sus2
I'm just willin' to be the bigger man, if y'all can quit poppin'
A G#m
Off at the jaws, well, then I can, 'cause frankly I'm sick of talkin'
C#m
I'm not gonna let someone else's coffin rest on my conscience `cause
[Припев]:
E B
Step by step, heart to heart
C#m Emaj7 A
Left, right, left, we all fall down
B C#m B
Like toy soldiers
E B
Bit by bit, torn apart
C#m Emaj7 A
We never win, but the battle wages on
B C#m
For toy soldiers
