Trivia

• The song serves as a sequel to the 2Pacalypse Now track “Soulja’s Story,” with both featuring the “soldier like me” lyric in the intro, outro, and chorus, as well as a deepened vocal and themes of crooked cops. Notably, physical versions of the album feature the subtitle “a/k/a Return Of The Soulja” for “Soldier Like Me.”
• 2Pac’s vocals are sourced from two demo tracks: the second verse is taken from a song titled “Judgment Day,” while the rest of the vocals come from “Revenge Of The Soulja.”
