Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't have the vision of Spike Lee

Don't have the hand of Da Vinci

Don't have no wings, no man can fly like Michael Jordan

I'm just not that kind of guy

[Verse 2]

Don't have the wisdom of Gandhi

No muscles like Mohammed Ali

Don't have a gangster's heart or a platinum Rolls to park

I don't have no fancy things

[Verse 3]

I'm just a soulman, listen here, baby

I'm not a Superman, no not at all

It's just me and my dreams and despite what it seems

It ain't much but yet it's just enough

[Verse 4]

Don't have the charm of Denzel's smile

Don't have the cool of Cary Grant's style

Don't have the special mind or the genius of Einstein

I'm just not that kind of guy

[Verse 5]

Don't have the walk of Neil Armstrong

Don't have the power of King Kong

No, don't have Obama's smarts or the will of Rosa Parks

Nor the courage of Mandela

[Verse 6]

I'm just a soulman, listen here, baby

I'm not a Superman, not at all

It's just me and my dreams and despite what it seems

It ain't much but yet it's just enough

[Verse 7]

I'm just a soulman, listen here, baby

I'm not a Superman, no not at all

It's just me and my dreams and despite what it seems

It ain't much but yet that's just, yeah that's just enough

[Verse 8]

Well, I'd love to be just like one of them

Have something special

I know that I'll try the best I can

But what should I do in the end?

[Verse 9]

I'm just a soulman, listen here, baby

I'm not a Superman, no not at all (No, no)

It's just me and my dreams and despite what it seems

It ain't much but yet it's just enough (It is just enough)

[Verse 10]

I'm just a soulman, listen here, baby (No, no, no, no)

I'm not a Superman, no not at all

It's just me and my dreams, yeah, yeah

It ain't much but yet it's just enough, oh, oh

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

It's just me and my dreams

It ain't much but yet it's just enough, oh, oh
