Toy solider is about the fueds/killings in the rap industry.

Mosh is about Bush and Iraq.

hahahhaaha...its about cutting out the violence from beefs within the hip/hop game. Em doesn't want another biggie/tupac to happen from his and 50's beef with Murder inc.

by the way, if anyone missed what 50 said about Ja, I'll give you a quick run down. It went along the lines of "im gonna destroy ja, and then im gonna rebuild him and sign him to g-unit" I thought that was just hillarious.

it samples a song called "Toy Soldiers" by Martika.

i think the song was tastefully done. it's about the "wars" in the rap industry.

I told her that it was about the rap industry "war" or whatever. Needless to say she said "You are wrong. Listen to the words in the first verse. Why do you always have to argue with me."

Woman! what can you say???!?!?!

here show ur gf this (first verse):

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 'sposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin toe to toe with the Benzino
It don't matter I'd never drag 'em in battles that I can handle
'less 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 sh!t ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
That Ja sh!t, 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, the sh!t went way beyond some Jay-Z and Nas sh!t
And even though the battle is won I feel like we lost it
I spent so 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 want to destroy somethin I helped build?
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions were good
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin {Suge}
And that was just out of respect, for not runnin my mouth
And talkin about somethin that I knew nothin 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 TV, now I'm talkin a man
who literally saved my life, like fvck it I understand
This is business, and this sh!t just isn't none of my business
I'm still knowin this sh!t could pop off at any minute, because

and ask her if it says anything about the war on iraq..... ;)
