[Verse]
     C#m                        
Left right left we all fall down
C#m7                       
Step by step heart to heart
                       C#m      
Left right left we all fall down
                 
Like toy soldiers
                     
Bit by bit torn apart
                                    
We never win but the battle wages on
        A       
For toy soldiers
                A                                           
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
                                           C#m                  
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
              C#m                
I ain't never supposed to show it
              C#m                
My crew ain't supposed to know it
           C#m                                
Even if it means goin' toetotoe with a Benzino
C#7                                 C#sus4                     
It don't matter I never drag 'em in battles that I can't handle
C#m                                                      
'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#m7                                                   
That Ja shit I tried to squash it it was too late to stop it
C#m                                                          
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it
A               C#m                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 JAYZ and Nas shit
C#m                                                      
And even though the battle was won I feel like we lost it
  C#m                                              
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 hiphop for it's not why I got in it
     C#m7                                         
That was never my object for someone to get killed
C#m                                               
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                                        
And that was just outta respect for not runnin' my mouth
    C#m                                              
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#7                                 
While he's all over TV downtalkin' the man
    C#m7               C#m                           
Who literally saved my life like fuck it I understand
        A                                                    
This is business and this shit just isn't none of my business
A                                                            
But still knowin' the shit could pop off at any minute 'cause
C#m                        
Step by step heart to heart
     C#m                        
Left right left we all fall down
         C#m     
Like toy soldiers
                     
Bit by bit torn apart
                                    
We never win but the battle wages on
E   B   C#m

[Verse]
      C#m7                                                 
There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme and
C#m                                                  
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 escalatedit ain't just words no more is it
       C#7                                                         
It's a different ballgame you call names and you ain't just rappin'
C#m                                                           
We actually tried to stop the fifty 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#7                                                     
Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how he stabbed him
C#m                                                
Fuck it fifty smash him Mash on him let him have it
A            C#m                G#m                 
Meanwhile my attention's pulled in another direction
     C#m                                                      
Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk
       C#m7                                                    
Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection
C#m                                                     
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#m7                                               
Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'
C#m                                                          
Well fuck it that motherfucker could get it too fuck him then
A                            C#m                      
But I'm so busy bein' pissed off I don't stop to think
                                  C#7                 
That we've just inherited fifty's beef with Murder Inc
                                 C#m7                         C#m 
And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind
         C#m                                   
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#m7                                          
And maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus
   C#m                                                     
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#7                                                      
But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt or murdered
         C#m                                                 
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#m7                                                     
But don't get it twisted it's not a plea that I'm coppin'
                                  C#m                          
I'm just willin' to be the bigger man if y'all can quit poppin'
                            A                                     
Off at the jaws well then I can 'cause frankly I'm sick of talkin'
                          G#m                                
I'm not gonna let someone else's coffin rest on my conscience
                    C#m           
'cause Step by step heart to heart
           C#m                  
Left right left we all fall down
     C#m         
Like toy soldiers
