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
(I got a soldier!)
With the top down feeling the sounds
Quakin' and vibratin' your thighs ridin' harder than guys
Wit 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 wit Chelle and kick it wit Kelly or holla at be
Ya, gotta be g's you way outta your league
Please!

We like dem boys that be in them lac's leanin' (Llanin')
Open their mouth their 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 be so low from there 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
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

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 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)

Low cut ceasers wit the deep waves (deep waves)
So quick to snatch up your Beyonce (Beyonce)

Body marked up like the subway in harlem

Now every time she hear my name she salute
