I don't have Spike Lee's look
I don't have Da Vinci's genius
I don't have my feet on the ground
my banker's patience
I don't have those things
I don't have Gandhi's wisdom
Muhammad Ali's confidence
I don't have a gangster's soul
Abbé Pierre's kindness
I'm just a soulman, listen to this, baby
I'm no Superman, far from it
I've got nothing else to offer
but I know for real that's already something
I don't have a magazine body
I don't have Charlie Chaplin's humor
I don't have innate knowledge
Bocuse's know-how
no, I don't have those things
I don't have Neil Armstrong's luck
I don't have King Kong's build
several strings to my bow
I'm just a soulman, listen to this, baby
I'm no Superman, far from it
I've got nothing else to offer
but I know for real that's already something
I'm just a soulman, listen to this, baby
I'm no Superman, far from it
I've got nothing else to offer
but I know for real that's already something
I'd have liked to be like them
to stand out from the crowd
I really tried, I did my best
but whatever I do in the end
I'm just a soulman, listen to this, baby
I'm no Superman, far from it
I've got nothing else to offer
but I know for real that's already something
I'm just a soulman, listen to this, baby
I'm no Superman, far from it
just me, my wild ideas yeah yeah
but I know for real that's already something
but I know for real that's already something
