I was raised on soul, born with the groove heartbeat drummin’, got nothin’ to prove playing that soul feelin alright keepin that soul burnin’ through the long nights hands got dirty, but my spirit stayed clean chasin’ that sound, livin’ that dream every step I took, every risk I ran built this fire—made me who I am when the world gets cold, I turn it up inside got that flame you can’t deny I’m a soulful man, burnin’ it right I Keep it movin’ through the night feel that rhythm take control deep down in your soul I’m a soulful man, can’t you see this is who I’m meant to be from the heart, I take my stand I’m a soulful man (Oh yeah!) Got that beat 'blastin'’, boots on the floor crowd starts jumpin’, always wantin’ more sweat drips down, but I don’t slow down got that old-school magic in a new-school town every note I sing, every line I write comes from the struggle, comes from the fight if you feel that groove, then you understand ain’t just music—it’s who I am when the pressure’s high, I don’t break or bend that soul inside won’t ever end I’m a soulful man, burnin’ it right I Keep it movin’ through the night feel that rhythm take control deep down in your soul I’m a soulful man, can’t you see this is who I’m meant to be from the heart, I take my stand I’m a soulful man It ain’t about money, ain’t about fame It’s that feelin’ runnin’ through your veins clap your hands, let me hear you shout that’s what soul is all about say “SOUL!” (SOUL!) say “FIRE!” (FIRE!) turn it up—take it higher! I’m a soulful man, burnin’ bright keep it movin’ through the night feel that rhythm take control deep down in your soul I’m a soulful man, loud and proud sing it strong, sing it out loud from the streets to center stage Soulful man—feel that rage Yeah… that’s that real thing… I'm a soulful man… I won't ever let it die…
