Soldierette

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Calling someone to come closer or urging them to hurry up

Verse one is about this chick named Karen
Introducing the topic being discussed in the following verse

She wanted to be down, I told her first she gotta run aarons

Take this work downtown to this nigga named Gary
Giving Karen a task to do and specifying the location and recipient

Bring me back what I need, and I'ma make it happen

You get my back, I get yours that's how we play it
Explaining the mutual support and loyalty expected in Turk's crew

Got the got the job done before you get pay
Stressing the importance of completing tasks before receiving payment

Recalling the common saying that emphasizes the need to work hard in order to succeed

Either you do it or don't it's all cool with me
Asserting that Karen has the freedom to choose whether or not to join Turk's crew

Cause I'm straight look here you try to get where I'm at
Boasting of Turk's own successful lifestyle as an incentive for Karen to join him

Do it right the first time, and I'ma holla back

Implying that the rewards of the lifestyle Turk leads require hard work and dedication

But Look I ain't making you, it's all on you

She'll let you use her house, so you can hide the work

Clarifying that the price Tasha is paying to achieve her dreams is not worth it

All that just to be a rapper, Wodie she trippin
Disapproving of Tasha's singular focus on becoming a rapper despite the risks and costs involved

Better open your eyes before it's to late

Revealing that Turk will not repeat his advice or be tolerant of Tasha's mistakes

Nigga don't give a fuck about you but say they do
Warning Tasha of the untrustworthy and selfish nature of some men in the music industry

Fall for it if you want, Boo it's on you

Look is what you do make you think that your green is grass
Commenting on the fleeting nature of success and the importance of staying grounded
