Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Soldier" by Tina Moore feature the singer expressing her desire for a strong, street-smart man who can protect her and provide for her. The verses describe this ideal man as someone who is rough around the edges and has a bit of a dangerous edge to him. The language is filled with slang terms and regional accents, which adds to the overall tone of the song. The chorus repeats the phrase "I need a soldier" in no uncertain terms, and implores any potential suitors to step up and prove their worth.


Moore's message is not just about finding a man who can provide financial security and physical protection, however. She also places great importance on the status of a man's community, emphasizing that he should be "street" and capable of navigating the urban landscape. This is seen as a prerequisite for being able to handle the challenges that might come with a relationship with a woman like Moore. Similarly, her references to hip-hop artists like Lil Wayne and Beyonce suggest that her ideal partner should be familiar with the latest trends and cultural touchstones.


Overall, "Soldier" is a celebration of a certain kind of masculinity that is often associated with hip-hop culture. It allows Moore to express her desires in a way that is both assertive and playful, while also tapping into a broader cultural fascination with the idea of the "bad boy". For many listeners, the song will evoke nostalgia for a certain era of 2000s pop culture and the music that defined it.
