After releasing two albums with No Limit, the twins left the label to start their own company, Most Wanted Records. As their success peaked, the Garcia brothers were sentenced to three years in prison for failing to cooperate in an ongoing cocaine case against New Orleans drug kingpin Richard Peña.
After their release from prison, Kane and Abel continued to record music with moderate success. The brothers expanded the score of their careers by creating self produced film urban flims and writing fiction novels. Their most recent album titled "Back On Money" was released in 2010.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All he want to be a soldier a soldier
All he want to be a No Limit soldier
All he want to be a soldier like me
All he want to be a soldier a soldier
All he want to be a soldier like me
A soldier a soldier
A soldier a soldier
Crack done took apart my family tree
My mama's on the shit
My daddy splitting
Mom's steady blaming me
Is it my fault just because i'm a young black male
The feds swept me as if kane and abel making crack sales
Only 15 and got problems
Cops on my tail so i bail til I dodge em
They finally pulled me over and I laughed
Remember rodney king and I blast on they punk ass
Now I got a murder case
You say your from the ghetto bitch you never heard a place
Trying to make some cash got a uz and a black mask
Drop the fucking task
Down goes the jack ass
Keep my shit cocked cause the cops got a glock too
What the fuck would you do?
Drop them or let em drop you
I chose dropping the cop
I got me a glock and some glocks for them niggas on my block
Mama tried to stab me I moved out
Stole a couple keys
Made g's
Bought a new house
Only 17 i'm the new king
Got me a crew hell a jewels and a uzi
But all good things don't last
Task came fast
Busted my black ass
I'm chilling in the pen facing life or death
Now my little brother wants to follow in my footsteps
Chorus
Buck buck
Niggas get touched don't step to this
Represent my set with this tech on a death wish
Tell em come and test
And the rest it gets hectic
Making you a speck and busters gotta exit
Walking throught the streets selling this crack shit
Packing several gats cause i'm on some pay him back shit
Niggas don't want to try me
Bitch you'll get shot down
Now i'm packing a glock since my twin brother's locked down
I'm hot now
So many crooked cops had got shot down
5-o see me on the block and they chalk now
That's what I call a high roller
Send my brother what he needs and some weed to angola
Tell him just be ready set
Pack yo' shit up quick and when I hit be prepared to jet
Nigga from the block down to roll nigga
Every single one got a gun
Now i'm smoked nigga
These hoes about to get hit by the best
I'm wearing double vests
So aim at my fucking chest
I be making straight head shots
Touch the button on the wall you gone feel it when yo' face pop
I can still hear my mother's shout
Hit the pen abel
Break your brother kane out
I got a message for the warden
I'm coming for your ass as fast as flash gordon
We get surrounded in the mess hall
Yes y'all
A crazy motherfucker making death calls
Just bring my brother kane and we leaning
For every minute you start one of y'all bleeding
They brought my brother with a quickness
I kidnapped the cop ready for the sickness
And just as we were walking out
I caught a bullet in the head
The screams never left my mouth
My brother caught a bullet too
I think he gone pull through
He deserve to
The fast life ain't everything they told ya'
Never get much older
Follow in the tracks of a soldier
Chorus
The song "Soldier Story" by Kane & Abel speaks about a young man who dreams of being a No Limit soldier but ends up living a life of crime due to the drug addiction of his parents. The singer faces several problems such as being blamed for his parents' drug addiction just because he's a young black male, being chased by the police, and resorting to violence to survive. Eventually, he ends up in the penitentiary on a murder charge, and his little brother wants to follow his footsteps.
The chorus emphasizes the young man's dreams of being a soldier like Kane & Abel. The lyrics represent the rap group's success in the music industry and how they became famous soldiers of hip-hop. The verses depict a story of poverty, drug addiction, and crime that many young black males go through in America.
The song portrays how drug addiction can break a family and lead to crimes. The main character becomes a product of his environment, and his dreams of being a soldier clash with the reality of his life. The song's overall message is to highlight the struggles of growing up in impoverished neighborhoods and the harsh realities of living in a world controlled by drug addiction, crime, and violence.
