[T.I.]
Hey (I want a soldier)
Well you got it, I'm the hottest around
They'll know it when they see you rollin' Impalas around
(I got a soldier)
With the top down, feelin' the sounds
Quakin' and vibratin' them thighs
Ridin' harder than guys
With the chrome wheels at the bottom, white leather inside
When them flames be spittin' at you, tell 'em don't even try it
To shoot it with 'Chelle, and kick it with Kelly, or holla at B
You gotta be G's, you way outta ya league
[Kelly]
We like them boys that be in them Lacs leanin' (leanin')
Open they mouth, they grill gleamin' (gleamin')
Candy paint, keep that whip clean and (clean and)
They always be talkin' that country slang we like
They keep that beat that be in the back beatin' (beatin')
Eyes see so low from that chiefin' (chiefin')
I love how he keep my body screamin' (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
Better be street if ya 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
Better be street if ya lookin' at me
I need a soldier
That ain't scared to stand up for me
Gotta know to get dough and he better be street
[Beyonce]
We like them boys up top from the BK (BK)
Know how to flip that money three ways (three ways)
Always ridin' big on the freeway (freeway)
With that East Coast slang that us country girls, we like
Low-cut caesars with the deep waves (deep waves)
So quick to snatch up yo' Beyonce (yo' Beyonce)
Always comin' down, bobbin' our way (our way)
Tellin' us that country girls the kind of girls they like
[chorus]
If his status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him
Better be street if ya 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
Better be street if ya lookin' at me
I need a soldier
That ain't scared to stand up for me
Gotta know to get dough and he better be street
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)
Don't mind takin' one for me (where they at)
I know some soldiers in here (where they at, where they at)
They wanna spend that on 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)
[Lil' Wayne]
Hey, see cash, money is a army
I'm walkin' with Purple Hearts on me
You're talkin' to the sergeant
Body marked up like the subway in Harlem
Call 'em Weezy F. 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 Mami, join my troop
Now everytime she hear my name, she salute!
[Michelle]
I like them boys over there, they lookin' strong tonight (strong tonight)
Just might give one the phone tonight (phone tonight)
Homie in the Dickies, in my zone tonight (zone tonight)
He don't know we might be on tonight (on tonight)
Ooh he lookin' good, and he talkin' right (talkin' right)
He the type that might change my life (change my life)
Everytime he look at me, my girls be like (girls be like)
That one may be the one tonight
[chorus]
If his status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him
Better be street if ya 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
Better be street if ya lookin' at me
I need a soldier
That ain't scared to stand up for me
Gotta know to get dough and he better be street
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)

lyrics
vocal Alright, I will agree that the beat is good and the song is kind of catchy, but once you listen to the lyrics that is where it goes down hill. I think one should look at the audience their song will be directed to because young girls will take these lyrics literally. What is their definition of a 'soldier'? Do ladies really want somebody with street credibility? The chorus...I would not say ignorant, but kind of foolish and it has a definite high school mentality (sad b/c they ladies are well out of high school and they are not from the "hood"). Yet another song glamourizing a lifestyle that has very little glamour and appeal with the potential of danger and death.
If his status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him
Better 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
Better be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier
That ain't scared to stand up for me
Gotta know to get dough and he better be street

vocal Hey ya'll
There is such a mixed view on this song! It is a Boss song (Boss means the best - bit a UK voice for ya) but OMFG would DC grow up already, Ever since Beyonce hooked up with JZ she has floored herself AND just a msg for that jackass who said all girls want a gangsta that looks good and can treat her right - Well listen jackass, 1) JZ is a minger! 2) Since when have gangsta's treated there girls right (Do you include cheatin being treated right)! Oh and lastly that jackass said that money is important well remember who said this MO MONEY MO PROBLEMS - CAN YOU REMEMBER - hipocrit!
Overall the track is sick, but DC need to lose that ghetto, teen, love hate image and be the INDEPENDENT WOMEN they used to be!
Oh and Solange getting pregnant so young, we expected it!
