Eminem question

[Rock N' Roll Junkie]

I know most of you hate him, I'm not to fond of him myself. I heard his last song and the lyrics got me questioning. What is is about?

Like toy soldiers:

[step by step, heart to heart, left right left

We al fall down like toy soldiers]

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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 am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it

Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter

I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to

I'm supposed 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 supposed to be beside 'em

Now the Ja shit i tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it

There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it

I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it It was crazy,

this shit be way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit

And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it

I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted

And I'm so caught in it I almost feel 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 wanna destroy something I help build

It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good

I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' ...

Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth

And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about

Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef

So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth

While he's all over t.v. down talkin' 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 knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cuz

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme

And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'

But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in it

The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?

It's a different ball game, callin' names and you ain't just rappin'

We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'

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 started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him

Fuck it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have it

Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions

Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk

Has an obsession for me and thinks that I'll be his ressurection

Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record

But now he's fucked the game up cuz one of the ways I came up

Was through that publication the same one that made me famous

Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'

Well fuck it, that mutherfucker can get it too, fuck him 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

We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus

To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is

To have Runion Avenue Soldiers up in our corners

Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is

But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered

It ain't worth it I can't think of a perfecter way to word it

Then to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the virdict

I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further

But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'

I'm just willin' to be the bigger man

If ya'll can quit poppin' off at your jaws well then I can,

Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'

I'm not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience cuz

[Chorus]

What is it all about?

I don't know but I think Eminem is just stupid...

[IndiannaRose]

It's about these "wars" that rappers have, like Tupac's and Biggie's which eventually lead to death.

[IndiannaRose]

I love the way you give a good argument.

[Whatthef'k?NoAlbum?]

Toy Soldier is originally a song by Martika. It was the Theme of the Movie Toy Soldiers 1991 staring Sean Astin.

Toy Soldiers by Martika

Step by step, heart to heart,

left right left. We all fall down like toy soldiers

It wasn't my intention to mislead you

It never should have been this way

What can I say

It's true I did extend the invitation

I never knew how long you'd stay

When you hear temptation call

It's your heart that takes, takes a fall

Won't you come out and play with me

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's getting hard to wake up in the morning

My head is spinning constantly

How can it be

How could I be

so blind to this addiction

If I don't stop the next one's gonna be me

Only emptiness remains

It replaces all,

all the pain

Won't you come out and play with me

Step by step,

heart to heart,

left right left

[Solid snake 89]

Yeah it is I watched the interview

Its also about a personal feud he had to because someone mentioned his daughters name

And Eminem is good

[Rick]

i think hes talking about rappers dissing each other in their songs, but im not a big fan of rap so i wouldnt really know

I think Eminem has amazing talent.

The lines highlighted above are about Ja Rule, he mentioned Eminem's daughter and estranged wife in a song. There are some parts of the song to do with the war in Iraq, much like his song 'Mosh'

R.

[Projected]

What's there to understand?

He want's to squash the beef between him and Ja and him and Benzino. That's all.

I was wondering how long it was going to take one of you guys to get it right.

Thanks, do you also know who got killed?

"That was never my object for someone to get killed"

[White_Mouse]

I think he's just too fake ''musician'' and songwriter for my taste. After all he's just another MTV rapper like it or not. Look at him - he can't be rapper. First of all his lyrics sucks and they are trying to be so smart but it sounds silly to me.

I always have argument for my statements IndianaRose but sometimes I don't show them...

Freaky Tah got killed. But Eminem's not talking about him.

He's saying that he doesn't want anybody to get killed, that wasn't his intention, and the way things goin, it might get escalated to the point of someone getting shot.

[matt_barker]

ok... listen! all of you are wrong

it is about g-unit and shady records "beef" with murda inc..

basically eminem and 50 cent vs ja rule

[Thunderstruck]

At the end of the video it shows pictures of rappers murdered like 2pac etc, and eminem is just pointing out how stupid all the rap wars are, like people getting murdered over stupid grudges

[Aqueous_Transmission]

eminem smells

*puts big peg on nose

The beef is between 50 and Ja... The others just sumped on the bandwagon.

Ja started it by claiming 50 and some of his friends stole his jewlery in a night club.

The song is about finishing all of Em's beefs with Murder Inc. and Benzino especially.

That's all.

It's really not that hard to understand.
