Myth - Toy Soldier [Lyrics]
Verse 1:
they never said life was gonna be easy, but they never said it was tough
it's like everything I do, never seems to be good enough
I try to stand tough, keep my nose above water
but sometimes I wonder, why do I even bother?
I must of failed my mission, I tried to be a soldier
got trapped in emotions and I let it take me over
you can say they won, cause I crumbled under pressure
I lost my mind, now I don't know the difference between pain and pleasure
it's like my time has already passed, you can hear the tick of the clock
and all this time I been stuck between a rock and a hard spot
been trying to be who I am, so I strive for that top spot
they never gave me an opportunity to show them what I got
I been picked at by vultures, they trying to rip me apart
but now that I got talent, so they got a change of heart
but that's in the past, I'm not looking back in my rear view
I'm gonna be the bigger man and not look back at you
I'm gonna wipe my eyes, I'm gonna get back up on my feet
cause I'm the type to never take a defeat
I didn't choose this path, this was my destiny
but sometimes I wonder what would it be like
if I put an end to me, not literally
but the one behind the mic
I'm only 5'9 and I know I stand tall
they never believed in me, I do recall
they saying something like, I'm gonna fall off the ball
I'm here to prove you wrong, once and for all
cause I'm my own worse cridic, my own enemy
there is nothing that ya'll can do to me
I really don't care, if you keep my cd on the shelf
cause this is my therapy, I do this for myself
Verse 2:
flip who I am? nah, I wont sell myself short
just to get a little fan base and the people's support
I got too much pride this who I am, I got no reason to lie
caution is what I take with every stride and you wonder why
friends back stab you, with your own knife
but you learn from your mistakes and then go on with life so
I take this time to stop and think
I let my feelings bleed through my paper from the ink
and if I don't reach where I wanna be, then I'm the one to blame
I witnessed first hand my dreams going down the drain
and the truth is, that'd be hard to swallow
I couldn't picture it, so my stomache remains hollow
I gotta stay focused for my musical grind
I tell myself what I desire, will come in due time
they say patients is the key
when I get a hold of it, I'll be set free
no more wishes and wants holding me down
this whole damn time I been felt like I'm tied down!!
and this soldier here, promises never to go down
