Soldiers
50 Cent & G-Unit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT, I started my own gang
(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT
(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT, I started my own gang
(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT

It's a fact homie, eagles don't fly in flocks
But the eagles I got own sixteen shots
Like beefin', homie I ain't sayin' a word
I'll run up on your punk ass squeezing the bird
Now what New York niggas know about country grammar
Not much, but we know how to bang them hammers
When I pull out that thing, you better break yourself
Or win a trip to ICU, and you can take yourself
If you lucky motherfucker, I'm solider I told ya
Push ya shit back, put my knife through ya six pack
Gat bust, adrenaline rush, blowin' the dust
Five point O, burnin' the cluth, while I'm burnin' the dutch
You thought them other niggas was hot, I'm turnin' it up
This the blueprint, nigga are you learnin' or what
You done told me you respect me, now tell me I'm the nicest
Admit it nigga, I'm a mid-life crisis

(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT, I started my own gang
(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT (I got the rep of a villain, the weapon concealin')
(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT, I started my own gang
(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT (full of controversy until I retire my jersey)

It's like niggas rate the respect of who gat bigger
Banks been blowin' on purple stuff before that fat nigga
Henny's make dollars, and dollars make death threats
I'm doin' remixes to bulletproof the Lex next
Duck nigga, everdays war
I'm heavy on sports, to my draw like NBA's store
Don't make me send the piece at you
I'll have your man walk around with another rest in peace tattoo
Look creampuff, you can get killed here
Nigga you ain't invincible, even Superman in a wheel chair
I've always been a picky man, but I ain't a flowered star
So I'ma fuck all fifty fans
Look, whether you like it or not, right in ya spot
All in your grill, wearin' the crown, airin' em down
We're in the pound puttin' fare in the clown
I'm running with gangstas, don't make one of em shank ya

(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT, I started my own gang
(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT (I got the rep of a villain, the weapon concealin')
(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT, I started my own gang
(I'm a soldier) G-UNIT (full of controversy until I retire my jersey)

I'ma ride with my rap shit and my body armor
Ride like a Taliban suicide bomber
.45 six feet, I off ya feet
I kill ya with a pillow when you fall asleep
Your records can't sell, your company is buyin' em
Give it up, Burger King is hirin'
You shoulda been a cop, cause you snitch a lot
Talkin' to the jakes, you bound to get shot
I used to watch Big Bird and Scooby Doo
Now I'm choppin' big birds and them bundles too
For that Master P money, that shoppin' spree money
That coke, that dope and that ecstasy money
I'm tryin' to build empires across the state line
So move like vampires, never see me in the daytime




I jump out with a Nina and a MAC
I have you like Khia, my neck, my back
