He explains the beef between Ja Rule and 50 Cent. He finishes off the song by offering a truce to his enemies. The song reached the top 40 in the US, and #1 in the UK. It samples heavily on the chorus from the song "Toy Soldiers" by Martika.

The song's video, which depicts Eminem's fellow D12 member Proof being gunned down in a drive-by shooting, took a prophetic turn in the early hours of April 11, 2006, when Proof was actually shot and killed at the CCC nightclub on Detroit's 8 Mile Road. Rapper 50 Cent & rap group D12 make cameo appearances in this video.

Deceased rappers Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Big L and former D12 member Bugz are also shown at the end of the music video to show the fatal consequences of rap wars.

Eminem leaves out a word in this song when referring to Dr. Dre's beefs. This word is believed to be "Suge", a reference to Suge Knight with whom Dr. Dre had problems.

"Like Toy Soldiers" was put onto Eminem's greatest hits album, Curtain Call, in 2005.

"Like Toy Soldiers" was also made into a CD single with the tracks:
1. Like Toy Soldiers
2. Rabbit Run
3. Like Toy Soldiers (instrumental)
