3 dakika 46 saniye süren bir eminem şarkısıdır. 2002'de çıkan the eminem show'da yer alan parçanın sözleri şöyledir:
I'm a soldier, i'm a soldier, i'm a soldier, i'm a soldier...
Yo', never was a thug, just infatuated with guns,
never was a gangsta, 'til I graduated to one,
and got the rep of a villain, for weapon concealin',
took the image of a thug, kept shit appealin',
willin' to stick out my neck, for respect if it meant life or death,
never live to regret what I said,
when you're me, people just want to see,
if it's true, if it's you, what you say in your rap's, what you do,
so they feel, as part of your obligation to fulfill,
when they see you on the streets, face to face, are you for real,
in confrontation ain't no conversation, if you feel you're in violation,
any hesitation'll get you killed, if you feel it, kill it,
if you conceal it, reveal it, being reasonable will leave you full of bullets,
pull it, squeeze it, till it's empty, tempt me, push me, pussies,
I need a good reason to give this trigger a good squeeze...
[Chorus*]
I'm a soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much, they won't budge,
i'll never fall or fold up,
i'm a soldier,
even if my collar bone's crush or crumble,
I will never slip or stumble,
i'm a soldier,
these shoulder's hold up so much, they won't budge,
i'll never fall or fold up,
i'm a soldier,
even if my collar bone's crush or crumble,
I will never stumble...
I love pissin' you off, it get's me off,
like my lawyer's, when the fuckin' judge let's me off,
all you motherfuckers gotta do is set me off,
i'll violate and all the motherfuckin' bet's be off,
i'm a lit fuse, anything I do bitche, it's news,
pistol whippin' motherfuckin' bouncers, six-two,
who needs bullets, soon as I pull it, you sweat bullets,
an excellent method to get rid of the next bully,
it's actually better cause instead you murderin',
you can hurt em' and come back again and kick dirt at 'em,
it's like pourin' salt in the wounds, assault and get sued,
you can smell the lawsuits soon as I waltz in the room,
everybody halts and stops, calls the cops,
all you see is bitches comin' out their halter tops,
runnin' and duckin' out the Hard Rocks parking lot,
you'll all get shot whether its your fault or not, cause...
[Chorus]
I spit it slow so these kids know that i'm talkin' to 'em,
give it back to these damn critics and sock it to em,
i'm like a thug, with a little bit of Pac influence,
I spew it, and look how I got you bitches rockin' to it,
you motherfuckers could never do it like I could do it,
don't even try it, you'll look stupid, do not pursue it,
don't ever in your life, try to knock the truest,
I spit the illest shit, ever been dropped to two inch,
so ticky-tock listen as the sound ticks on the clock,
listen to the sound of Kim as she licks on a cock,
listen to the sound of me spillin' my heart through this pen,
motherfuckers know that i'll never be Marshall again,
full of controversy until I retire my jersey,
'til the fire inside dies and expires at thirty, and
Lord have mercy on any more of these rappers that verse me,
and put a curse on authorities in the face of adversity, i'm a...
destiny s child şarkısı. güzeldir, hatta sözleri de şöyle olsa gerek;
Hey - I want a Soldier
The way you got it I'm the hottest around
They'll know it when they see you rollin' Impala's around
With the top down feeling the sounds
Quakin' and vibratin' your thighs ridin' harder than guys
With the chrome wheels at the bottom, white leather inside
When them lames be spittin' at you tell 'em don't even try it
To shot it with 'Chelle and kick it with Kelly or holler at 'B'
Ya, gotta be g's you way outta your league
Please!
We like dem boys that be in them lac's leanin'
Open their mouth their grill gleamin'
Candy paint, keep that whip clean and
They always be talkin that country slang, we like
They keep that beat that be in the back beatin'
Eyes be so low from there chief
I love how he keep my body screamin'
A rude boy that's good to me, with street credibility
[CHORUS:]
If his status ain't 'hood
I ain't checkin' for him
Betta be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier
That ain't scared to stand up for me
Known to carry big things
If you know what I mean
If his status ain't 'hood
I ain't checkin' for him
Betta be street if he looking at me
I need a soldier
That ain't scared to stand up for me
Gotta know to get dough
And he betta be street
We like dem boys up top from the BK
Know how to flip that money three ways
Always ridin' big on the freeway
With that east coast slang that us country girls be like
Low cut caesars wit the deep waves
So quick to snatch up your Beyonce
Always comin down poppin our way
Tellin us that country girls the kinda girl they like
[CHORUS]
I know some soldiers in here
Where they at, where they at
They wanna take care of me
I know some soldiers in here
Where they at, where they at
Don't mind takin one for me
I know some soldiers in here
They wanna spend that on me
I know some soldiers in here
Wouldn't mind puttin that on me
Where they at
Hey, see cash money is a army
I'm walkin' with purple hearts on me
You talkin' to the Sergeant
Body marked up like the subway in Harlem
Call him, weezy baby, please say the baby
If you don't see me on the block I ain't tryin' a' hide
I blend in with the hood, I'm camouflage
Bandana tied, so mommy join my troop
Now every time she hear my name she salute
I like them boys over there they lookin' strong tonight
Just might give one the phone tonight
Homey in the Dickies in my zone tonight
He don't know it might be on tonight
Ooh he lookin' good and he talkin' right
He the type that might change my life
Everytime he look at me my girls be like
That one may be the one tonight
[CHORUS]
I know some soldiers in here
Where they at, where they at
They wanna take care of me
Where they at
I know some soldiers in here
Where they at, where they at
Wouldn't mind puttin that on me
Where they at.
