Lyrics
[verse]
Grew up on the hard side, learned it young,
Every lesson taught me how to hold my tongue.
But the fire inside me never did go out,
Now I stand up tall and I let it shout.
[chorus]
I'm a soul man, yes I am,
Built from struggle, made a stand.
I'm a soul man, understand,
Got this rhythm in my hands.
[verse]
Momma told me keep your head up high,
Walk with pride no matter how they try.
Took the long road, took the rocky way,
Now I'm singing what I couldn't say.
[chorus]
I'm a soul man, yes I am,
Built from struggle, made a stand.
I'm a soul man, understand,
Got this rhythm in my hands.
[bridge]
Horns are blowing, feel it in my chest,
Every scar I carry is my best.
Ain't no mountain gonna stop this train,
I came through fire, I came through rain.
[chorus]
I'm a soul man, yes I am,
Built from struggle, made a stand.
I'm a soul man, understand,
Got this rhythm in my hands.
