intro:
I'm a soldier,
I'm a soldier,
I'm a soldier,
I'm a soldier,


EMINEM's VERSE:
Yo... Never was a thug, just infatuated with guns, Never was a gangsta, till I graduated to one
And got the rep of a villain, for weapon concealin'. Took the image of a thug, kept shit appealin'
willin' to stick out my neck, for respect if it meant life or death, never live to regret what I said
when you're me, people just want to see, if its true, if its you, what you say in your rap's, what you do
so they feel, as part of your obligation to fulfill, when they see you on the streets, face to face, are you for real
in confrontation ain't no conversation, if you feel you're in violation, any hesitation'll get you killed
if you feel it, kill it, if you conceal it, reveal it. Being reasonable will leave you full of bullets, pull it, squeeze it
till its empty, tempt me, push me, pussies, I need a good reason to give this trigger a good squeeze...


HOOK:
I'm a soldier, these shoulders hold up so much, they won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up
I'm a soldier, Even if my collar bones crush or crumble, I will never slip or stumble
I'm a soldier, These shoulders hold up so much, they won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up
I'm a soldier, Even if my collar bones crush or crumble, I will never stumble

MY VERSE:
I've tried ta spit it to them to make 'em understand
how it is ta handle shit like a man
believe me when i say i had none of this planned
but i know skills i got ta fill the plot
and i don't give a fuck what u say
because no matter how gay u wanna play
you're too pussy ta say that shit ta my face
sayin' my raps the worst
you don't wanna see me fuckin' burst
who the fuck u think was here first
but there's so many whack rappaz on here that i'm afraid of exposure
but no matter what i'll always remain a soldier
unlike all u sell outs i'm here ta stay real
it's not easy ta feel someone else's shit when all they do is steal
lyin' sayin drugs is all they deal
and they're all triggas and aren't afraid to pull it
everything you read there was complete bullshit
i started out wack but things ain't gonna be the same
cuz i'm just getting introduced to the game
i'm just startin' out fresh so my talent is about ta erupt
and you know fuckin' well i'll never fall or fold up

HOOK:
I'm a soldier, these shoulders hold up so much, they won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up
I'm a soldier, Even if my collar bones crush or crumble, I will never slip or stumble
I'm a soldier, These shoulders hold up so much, they won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up
I'm a soldier, Even if my collar bones crush or crumble, I will never stumble

EMINEM's 2nd VERSE:
I spit it slow so these kids know that I'm talkin' to em, give it back to these damn critics and sock it to em
I'm like a thug, with a little bit of Pac influence, I spew it, and look how I got you bitches rockin' to it
you motherfuckas could never do it like I could do it, don't even try it, you'll look stupid, do not pursue it
don't ever in your life, try to knock the truest, I spit the illest shit, ever been dropped to two inch
so ticky-tock listen as the sound ticks on the clock, listen to the sound of Kim as she licks on a cock
listen to the sound of me spillin' my heart through this pen, motherfuckers know that I'll never be Marshall again
Full of controversy until I retire my jersey, till the fire inside dies and expires at thirty
and Lord have mercy on any more of these rappers that verse me, and put a curse on authorities in the face of adversity
I'm a...

HOOK:
I'm a soldier, these shoulders hold up so much, they won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up
I'm a soldier, Even if my collar bones crush or crumble, I will never slip or stumble
I'm a soldier, These shoulders hold up so much, they won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up
I'm a soldier, Even if my collar bones crush or crumble, I will never stumble
