"Soldier" is one of Eminem’s rawest, most aggressive tracks off The Eminem Show (2002). In this song, Em delivers a brutal and unapologetic message about loyalty, pain, and survival — showing the world that he’s not just an artist, but a fighter.
Whether you're here for the bars, the message, or the attitude — this is classic Shady at his finest.
🎤 Real. Raw. Relentless. This is Eminem — a soldier through and through.
I'm a soldier I'm a soldier (La-de-dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah) I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

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 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 wanna see if it's true If it's you—what you say in your raps, 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?

I love pissin' you off, gets me off Like my lawyers when the fuckin' judge lets me off All you motherfuckers gotta do is set me off I'll violate and all the motherfuckin' bets be off I'm a lit fuse, anything I do, bitch, it's news Pistol-whippin' motherfucking bouncers 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 pourin' 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 comin' out their halter tops Runnin' and duckin' out the Hot Rocks parking lot You'll all get shot, whether it's your fault or not, 'cause I'm a—
