    This is song kinda sad to when you lose soldiers in military. Even tho EMINEM is talking about losing a friends in rap songs. I take the song a completely different direction, I take it in the direction of losing a family member, best friend, parent, or a retired soldier who lost their lives in battles or who recently passed away in their older years.

Cold winters, lonely nights, endless fights, with myself I need help just a man not a soldier. Realise we forgot to care as we all grew older.

    Never showed your face,
    You can hold a vase of my ashes,

    Up in the moment,

    So i shoot for the bonus,

    A superstition,

    Be a magician

    Book if the oppositions
    Look ima book it,

    It's meant to be a simple beat. The song has a simple beat because you're meant to focus on his lyrics a lot more than that. Just his talent of rapping, and his lyrics is what makes the simple beat not boring. To make a song so good out of a simple beat is tricky, but that's the point, and it's hip-hop. But it's not meant to be some crazy dubstep beat.. With strong talented Lyrics by Eminem to a simple beat, one of the best songs in the world, just an amazing song. It's perfectly made. Eminem

    *music*
    When I was 6, I had a lot a friends. As much friends a boy could ask for but when I reached 5th grade, everything fell apart
    Friends moving, friends not being how they used too
    Now Im only down to 2 really good friends that I will never forget
    One of them moved away but I can play game with him.
    🎶
    Playing sports is fun, the only thing that keeps me entertained by now.
    The sport I like to play is Ice Hockey.
    I started when I was 4 and my coach said I was a really good skater so I moved up a lot
    Very fun experience, still playing till this day and I have never been so happy
    🎶
    Well, I think this is the end, we have came a long way.

    You go to all your classes, it drives me to complete madness. We accept we started fuckin’ the world, back in the time when we thought we had this. It failed our tactics, don’t you think it’s time to practice, to teach the earth how and when to put murderers on its blacklist. It burns my heart how much the poor works so hard so intense, to impress the rich who doesn’t give a crap to how good the effort is.

    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 supposed 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
    This ain't what I'm in Hip Hop for, it's not why I got in it
    That was never my object for someone to get killed
    Why would I want to 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 life, 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 cause
    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
    It used to be a 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 yappin' in magazines how he stabbed him
    Fuck 'em 50, smash him, mash him, and let him have it
    Meanwhile my intentions pulled me 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 up
    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 motherfucker 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
    We still have soldiers that's 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 a chorus to show we love 'em back
    And to let 'em know how important it 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 my 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
    But 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 quit 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 conscience 'cause
    Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
    We all fall down, like toy soldiers
    Bit by bit, torn apart

    I was suppose to be the person,
    who could lay down a verse and,
    prevent everything to worsen.
    Now it seems no matter how hard I try
    nothing I ever spit is ever gonna be worth the buy
    Or worth the wait or hastle
    but in my thoughts, I still wrestle.

    When you feel as if someone only cares about you for a specific reason, they tend to make that one part of you a priority
    And you can't do anything about it.
    They bring up the one thing that they say isn't what they are worried about, yet they tend to bring it up more than anything else.
    They say that they are innocent, but they're mind is more corrupted than anyone elses, yet they still say they are innocent.
    And not only do you feel lied to, but you feel betrayed, you feel as if they only care about one thing
    That that's their main goal about you, that the only thing they think about is that feeling that they get when they think about that, or, do that rather.
    And as you sit here and wonder if the only thing they want is that one desire, constantly bringing it up in conversation.
    You feel as if you have lost everything, as if the only thing you thought you knew for a fact has been ripped out from under you.
    And there isn't anything you can do. They'll say they are sorry as many times as they can, but that doesn't change anything.
    There is nothing you can say or do to undo the corruption that has consumed your mind in itself
    And there is nothing changing that fact
    Your innocence is no longer in this world, yet you still say it is.
    Yet the only thing you tend to think about, is the one thing that is as far from innocent as it could possibly be.

    if i could go back in time
    and rewind i will
    do whatever it takes
    for this wounds to heal
    ive been fighting a battle
    that has no end to it
    many friends said forget it
    and dont do it
    i look at past
    i stay reminiscin
    wheres the happy age
    that ive been missin
    i guess its all lost in the back
    of my mind
    been searchin and searchin
    but it hard to find
    i can see my life
    pass on by
    it all goes away
    by a blink of an eye
    so i try to keep my
    eyes wide and open
