Who am I to tell him
That what he's doin' just ain't right
Standing on the corner hustlin'
All day gamblin' under street lights
Even though he's thuggin'
I love him
And I want him in my life
No matter what people say
I'm gonna love him anyway
'Cause he does a lot for me
And that is why I'm gonna be
A lover, a friend, a soldier, til the end
And that's how it's gonna be
Mother and my father don't understand me
They think I messed up my life
But I don't agree
They need to mind their business cause it's my life
And even though he's thuggin'
I love him (she loves him)
And I want him in my life, life again
So what you sayin', I can't love him
'Cause he's a hustler out her thuggin'
I know you're waitin', sittin' around hopin' that 5 - 0 come and take hime away
Well even if they do
I'll remain true to love him
In the end
Said I'll be a lover, a friend, a soldier, til the end
And that's how it's gonna be
No matter what people say
I'm gonna love him anyway
'Cause he does a lot for me
And that is why I'm gonna be
A lover, a friend, a soldier, til the end
And that's how it's gonna be
No matter what people say
I'm gonna love him anyway
'Cause he does a lot for me
And that is why I'm gonna be
A lover, a friend, a soldier, til the end
And that's how it's gonna be
The lyrics of this song express the loyalty and love of the singer to her partner, who is involved in illegal activities. The singer acknowledges the societal perception of her partner's actions as wrong but also recognizes that it's not her place to judge him. Despite the challenge, she stands firmly by his side and pledges to be there for him till the end, through thick and thin. She argues that her love for him outweighs what other people say, and he does a lot for her. Therefore, she will remain a lover, a friend and a soldier who supports him through the storms of life.
The song also touches on the theme of parental expectations and how they clash with the singer's desires. The singer feels misjudged by her parents, who believe she has gotten herself into a mess. However, she insists that it's her life and her choices, and she has every right to be with the person she loves, even though they don't approve. The song, therefore, portrays the conflict between societal expectations and individual choices and how love is bigger than labels and opinions.
