Chapter Thirty: Beginning of the End (still in Tara's pov)
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
The group looks at me as the final minutes before the battle begin. I have packed everything. I can hear my heart pounding in my ears, nerviousness I suppose. We begin our decent to the arena. The rest are in front of me, because I'm walking slow. Just thinking on the tournament.
I'm suppose 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 fox Ura, 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 stuff ever just pop off I'm suppose to be beside 'em That Lea crap, I tried to squashed it, it was too late to stop it There's a certain line, you just don't cross it, and she crossed it I heard her say Gwen's name and I just lost it It was crazy, this stuff went way beyond some Yusuke and Toguro crap 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 the tournament for, it's not why I got in it Now it's never my object to 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 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 people told me to stay out, just wasn't my beef, So I did I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth Now I'm just ready to take the demon who took my life away, like screw it I understand, this is business and this stuff just is my business But still knowing this stuff could pop off at any minute
Going through the tunnel to the ring, I have mixed emotions and my forms are mixing too. This is just really crazy. Some how though I feel as if I'm ready to except fate. Perhaps things will turn out right. Just maybe.
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
The light seems brighter now...I don't know maybe it's just me. Ura is already in the ring. He wastes no time. Taking a deep breath...I know what to do now, here I go...my fate...seal, and destiny...fullfilled.
It used to be 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 Stuff gets escalated, it ain't just words no more, is it It's a different ball game, call names and you ain't just kidding They actually tried to stop the Lea and me beef from happening Ura and others had sat with her, kicked it and had a chat with her And asked her not to start it, I wasn't gonna go after her Until she start gabbing in the world how she stabbed did this and that Screw it I, smash her, mash her, and let her have it Meanwhile my intentions pulley'd in other directions Some receptionist said the source who answers phones at their desk has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection Tries to blow the dust of his powers and make a new tournament But now he's messed the game up cause one of the ways I came was through that publication, the same one that made me famous Now my father has a grudge against me for nothing but scres it That sucker can get it too, screw 'em then But I'm so busy being pissed off, I don't stop to think That we just inherited Rin's beef with murder inc And he's inherited mine, which is fine, ain't like either of us mind Still have soldiers that is 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 chorus to show we love 'em back And to let 'em know how important is to have Urameshi's Team soldiers up in our corners Their loyalty to us is worth more then any award is But I am trying to have my people hurt or murdered Is is 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 won't walk away from it all I'll let it go further Now 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 talking rest on my conscious
No this time I'm going to come out on top. I'm done being controlled...if I ever was. Now I can forget the past...and look to the future. A life of no pains...happiness. That's what I'm here for now.
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 hope everyone isprepared...the beast is ready to be released.
