Soldier [Spanish translation]

[Intro]

I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier (la-de-dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah)

I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier

Yo...

[Verse 1]

Never was a thug, just infatuated with guns

Never was a gangsta 'til I graduated to one

And got the rep of a villain for weapon concealing

Took the image of a thug, kept shit appealing

Willing 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 wanna see if it's true

If it's you—what you say in your rap's what you do

So they feel it's 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'll leave you full of bullets

Pull it, squeeze it 'til it's 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 collarbones 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 collarbones crush or crumble

I will never stumble

[Verse 2]

I love pissing you off, it gets me off

Like my lawyers when the fucking judge lets me off

All you motherfuckers gotta do is set me off

I'll violate and all the motherfucking bets be off

I'm a lit fuse, anything I do, bitch, it's news

Pistol whip a motherfucking bouncer 6'2"

Who needs bullets? As soon as I pull it, you sweat bullets

An excellent method to get rid of the next bully

It's actually better 'cause instead of you murderin'

You can hurt 'em and come back again and kick dirt at 'em

It's like pouring salt in the wounds, assault and get sued

You can smell the lawsuits soon as I waltz in the room

Everybody halts and stops, calls the cops

All you see is bitches coming out their halter tops

Running and ducking out the Hot Rocks parking lot

You'll all get shot, whether it's your fault or not, 'cause 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 collarbones 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 collarbones crush or crumble

I will never stumble

[Verse 3: Eminem]

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 rocking to it

You motherfuckers 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 in two-inch

So ticky-tock, listen as the sound ticks on the clock

Listen to the sound of Kim as she licks on the 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

'Til 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 collarbones 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 collarbones crush or crumble

I will never stumble
