Soldier
lil corey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I rode my bike passed your house at least a thousand times
No matter what I do I just can't get you off my mind
All the guys in the neighborhood they wanna know your name
Well, it's too bad that they can't talk to you 'cause
They're too lame

I wish you and me
Baby, I could walk you home from school
Or hang out, baby, that'll be cool
I wish you and me
I was hopin' maybe I can hold your hand
I just wanna be your man, baby, oh, ho

If you let me be (Let me be)
If you let me be
Let me be your soldier (Let me be)
Girl, I thought I told you (I won't break your heart)
I won't break your heart (Yeah, yeah)

If you let me be (Let me be)
If you let me be
Let me be your soldier (Your soldier)
I will go to war for you
And protect your heart (Ooh...)

Ooh, ooh, I'm really feelin' you
And I pray to God that you really are feelin' me too
I'm tired of wishin'ย ?Rbout me and you
Hopin' there will be a day that we can be together
Soon

I wish you'd let me be
Oh, I really wanna be down with you, baby
I wish you'd let me be
I was hopin' I could the one to hold your hand
I just wanna be your man, babe, ooh-wee

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lil Corey's "Soldier" describe a young boy's hesitance to express his feelings to a girl he likes. The boy frequently passes by the girl's house on his bike and wishes to be close to her. He wishes he could walk her home from school, hold her hand, and be her man. The boy assures the girl that he won't break her heart and wants to be her protector, her soldier. He expresses his feelings that he is hoping one day they can be together soon.


It's a relatable song to many young people who have had a crush on someone but were too nervous to tell them. The song is also a show of respect to women, as the lyrics are about protecting and valuing them. The boy sees the girl as someone worth fighting for and is eager to be the one to protect her heart. The song has a sweet and innocent quality to it, reflecting the purity of young love in its early stages.
