Soldier Songtext
von Destiny's Child feat. T.I. & Lil Wayne

Aye, (I want a soldier), well, you got it, I′m the hottest around
They'Il know it when they see you rollin′ Impalas around it
(I got a soldier) with the top-down, feelin' 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 shoot it with ′Chelle, and kick it with Kelly, or holla at B
You got it be Gs, you way out of your league, please

We like them boys that be in them 'Lacs leanin′ (leanin')
Open they mouth, they grill gleamin' (gleamin′)
Candy paint, keep that whip clean n′ (clean n')
They always be talkin′ that country slang, we like
They keep that beat that be in the back beatin' (beatin′)
Eyes be 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


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

We like them boys up top from the B.K. (B.K.)
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' Beyoncé (yo′ Beyoncé)
Always comin' down boppin′ our way (our way)
Tellin' us that country girls the kind of girls they like

If his status ain′t hood (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


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?)

Next to the speakers, keep a toy in the trunk of the 'Lac
A reformed D-Boy, used to run in the trap (yuh)
Still a soldier, go to war (wuh), if you runnin′ your trap
About my girls, ain't no thang to put yo′ under the map
Come walk the streets, five-deep with nothin' less than a stack
And 80 karats on my chest provides a special attraction
50 Gs in my jeans, plus the dough from the white
It′s a reason I'm the king, girl, I know what you like, come on

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 (ain′t hood), I ain't checkin′ for him
Better be street if you 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 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 it might be on tonight
Oh, he lookin' good, and he talkin′ right (talkin' right)
He the type that might change my life (change my life)
Every time he look at me, my girls be like (girls be like)
"That one may be the one tonight"

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

Aye, 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 him, "Weezy F. baby," please say the baby
If you don't see me on the block, I ain′t tryna hide
I blend in with the hood, I′m camouflage
Bandana tied, so mami, join my troop
Now e'ry time she hear my name, she salute

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?)
