The song Like Toy Soldiers is pretty much about how his 'Rap Battle' with Ja and a few others was taken to far. It's pretty much his response to a song by Ja which had 'Your mom is a cr***head, Kim is a known sl*t, so what's Halie gonna be when sh grows up?" Referring to Eminem's daughter Halie and his ex Kim.
The end of the song is Em' offering a truce to them, because it was going to far.

The song Like Toy Soldiers is about Eminem's friend who needs serious intensive care and is in the stages of dieing. but when eminem rote this song it actually happened in real life a few years later his best friend proof was shot 3 times in the chest
the song like toy soldiers by eminem is about a rap feud between eminem/50 cent and Ja Rule. it is common for rappers to bash other rappers, but eminem claims "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" in respect to Ja Rule and his song Loose Change where he talks about eminem's daughter Hailie and his wife Kim. Eminem also says that this rap feud was much worse than the Jay-z and Nas fued claiming "It was crazy, this sh*t went way beyond some Jay-z and Nas sh*t" In the music video for Like Toy Soldiers, it shows how because of this fued, a fellow rapper and friend (proof a member of his band D12) to eminem was shot and killed. it also shows pictures of 4 rappers including 2pac and Biggie how were also killed in rap violence.
The song is about Eminems best friend (Proof) who died in a drive by, and it is also about all the rapers that have died. The song and video explains it. Watch it.
Actually the story above is false, eminem wrote the song Like Toy Soldiers BEFORE his best friend Proofs death, it was just a coincidence that proof was shot in a drive by almost exactly a year later, the end is true though it was about 2pac and them but the main character is proof even though he wasnt dead when this was released
eminem wrote like toy soldiers because of all the rappers that have died because of their talent. this song is especially dedicated to his friend proof who was shot and killed in a drive by. watch the video, sl1m sh4dy did a great job with this piece.-tear-
Big L, Biggie, Tupac, and Budz
dont forget his best friend proof. that was who the song was mainly written about.
The beef between his record company(Shady Records) and Murder Inc.(Owned by Irv Gotti) and how he wants to end the beef before someone gets hurt and the beef gets out of control
eminem " Like a Toy Soldier" used a part of Martika's song" Toy Soldier"
stan,like toy soldiers,we made you,not affraid
no eminem wrote this before proof died so now eminem never listens to this song because he thought he caused proofs death
The song came out off of this 2004 album Encore.
There are more than a few, but I would say Like Toy Soldiers or You're Never Over
