[Intro: Destiny's Child]
Ain't hood
Ain't hood
Ain't hood
I want a soldier
I need a solider
I want a soldier
I want a soldier
I need a solider

[Verse 1: Kelly Rowland]
We like them boys that be in them 'lacs leanin'
Open their mouth, their grill gleamin'
Candy paint, keep that wheel clean and
They always be talkin' that country slang we like
They keep that beat that be in the back beatin' (Beatin')
Eyes be so low from that chiefin
I love how he keep my body screamin' (Screamin')
A rude boy that's good to me with street credibility

[Chorus: Destiny's Child]
If his status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him
Better be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier that ain't scared to stand up for me
Known to carry big things if you know what I mean
If his status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him
Better be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier that ain't scared to stand up for me
Gotta know to get dough and he better be street
[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
We like them boys up top from the B.K. (B.K.)
Know how to flip that money three ways (Three ways)
Always ridin' big on the freeway (Freeway)
With that East Coast slang that us country girls, we like
Low-cut Caesar's with the deep waves (Deep waves)
So quick to snatch up your Beyoncé (Your Beyoncé)
Always comin' down, boppin' our way (Our way)
Tellin' us that country girls the kind of girls they like

[Interlude: Destiny's Child]
If his status ain't hood
I need a soldier

[Verse 3: T.I.]
The way you got it, I'm the hottest around
They'll know it when they see you rollin' them Impalas around
With the top down, feelin' the sounds
Quakin' and vibratin' your thighs, ridin' harder than guys
With the chrome wheels at the bottom, white leather inside
When them flames spittin' at you, tell 'em, "Don't even try it"
Shoot it with 'Chelle and kick it with Kelly or holla at B
Ya gotta be Gs, you way outta your league, please

[Refrain: Beyoncé]
I know some soldiers in here
They wanna take care of me
I know some soldiers in here
Don't mind takin' one for me
I know some soldiers in here
They wanna spend that on me
I know some soldiers in here
Wouldn't mind puttin' that on me
[Interlude: Destiny's Child]
Ain't hood
I need a soldier
Ain't hood
I need a soldier

[Verse 4: Michelle Williams, Michelle Williams & Beyoncé]
I like them boys over there, they lookin' strong tonight (Strong tonight)
Just might give one the phone tonight (Phone tonight)
Homie in the dickies in my zone tonight (Zone tonight)
He don't know it might be on tonight
Oh, he lookin' good and he talkin' right (Talkin' right)
He the type that might change my life (Change my life)
Every time he look at me, my girls be like (Girls be like)
"That one may be the one tonight"

[Chorus: Destiny's Child & Beyoncé]
If his status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him
Better be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier that ain't scared to stand up for me
Known to carry big things if you know what I mean
If his status ain't hood (Ain't hood), I ain't checkin' for him
Better be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier that ain't scared to stand up for me
Gotta know to get dough and he better be street
[Refrain: Beyoncé & Destiny's Child]
I know some soldiers in here (Where they at? Where they at?)
They wanna take care of me (Where they at?)
I know some soldiers in here (Where they at? Where they at?)
Don't mind takin' one for me (Where they at?)
I know some soldiers in here (Where they at? Where they at?)
They wanna spend that on me (Where they at?)
I know some soldiers in here (Where they at? Where they at?)
Wouldn't mind puttin' that on me (Where they at?)

[Chorus: Destiny's Child & Beyoncé]
If his status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him
Better be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier that ain't scared to stand up for me
Known to carry big things if you know what I mean
If his status ain't hood (Ain't hood), I ain't checkin' for him
Better be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier that ain't scared to stand up for me
Gotta know to get dough and he better be street
