"Like Toy Soldiers" as a very famous song / rap performed by Eminem but the meaning behind the song is often misunderstood by those unfamiliar with the culture of rap - the song is about the infamous feuds between real world rappers that would sometimes turn violent, leading to deaths.. The song itself is thus expressing the view that many rappers at the time were engaging in pointless wars like "toy soldiers" and suggesting that they were being manipulated by mass media into performing these roles.
