Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He wan come closer I say what is the matter

See I stand I balance You stand you balance
Because I'm a chief lieutenant I cannot be your servant
You no see my car it's German
You no see the swag gallant
See many dey claim my madam
But I no know these babes from Adam
They just want to follow the ladder
They know that nobody is badder
She say Why him dey flex like here be gym
Make he dey hope dey there dey dream
Is it by force to be with him Is this a military regime

The lyrics of Falz's "Soldier" tells a story of a man who meets a girl who he tries to woo but she keeps refusing his advances. The girl, however, is not interested and makes it known. She meets a man who poses as a soldier and he demands her number, but she refuses him. The impersonating soldier threatens her and commands her to fall in love with him, but she refuses again. Then, the real soldier man steps in to challenge the fake one, and the story ends with the fake soldier being exposed.
The lyrics are an impressive blend of comedy and seriousness, as Falz uses humor to portray the aggressive and threatening nature of the impersonating soldier. Additionally, the song addresses themes of deception and the abuse of power.
Overall, "Soldier" is a commentary on the use and abuse of power, specifically in romantic relationships. The lyrics depict the ways in which some people use their power and dominance to control others and how this can have negative consequences.
