I really don't know what I was thinking when I started this...
Well, I listened to the begining of this wrap song and thought, 'wow, that has kotor Exile written all over it!' So, I figured, if the Exile were a 'gansta', I'd assume that these would be the lyrics that would slip from his/her mouth about life, the war, M/Revan, his/her crew, and the unforgiving Council.
Again, I really didn't know what I was thinking when I started this...
Disclaimer-I do not own this song. I copied the lyrics from the sight I own nothing, some moderation was made with the lyrics to fit with the Star Wars Universe.

Eminem; Like Toy Soldiers
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 Order on top 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 my Mentor it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles that I can't 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 junk ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
Now, the war I tried to squash it, but 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 he's takin' away half the fleet and I just lost it
It was crazy, him leaving us, in this expanding Republic credit pit
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
I spent too much energy on it, and honestly, I'm exhausted
And I'm so caught in it I almost feel like I'm the one who caused it
This ain't what I wanted from the war, it's not why I got in it
It was never my option, for someone to get killed
Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions were good
I went through my whole career without ever intendin' someone's doom
Now it's just out of respect, for not runnin' my mouth
And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about
Plus they told me to get out, that this just wasn't my beef
So I did, I just fell to the Rim, watched and gritted my teeth

They hold the weapon of mine which is fine I don't ever even give it my mind
Yet we still have soldiers that are on the front lines
Who are 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 bein' grateful for their loyal-ness
To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is
To have the Protectors of the Republic watching over our corners
Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is
But I am tryin' to have none of my crew hurt or murdered
It ain't worth it I can't think of a more perfect way to word it
Then to just say that I love them too much to see the verdict
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
That followed Revan, now I'm gonna stop yappin'
Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'
I'm not gonna let someone else's coughin' rest on my conscience cuz-

Quite a few grammar errors, but that's wrap for ya.
I'm just hopin' that someone out there in cyberspace can agree with me that it does in some narrow way relate to how the Exile feels...
