Soulman is a joyful anthem of self-acceptance. Throughout the song, Ben l’Oncle Soul playfully compares himself to a parade of legendary figures – Spike Lee, De Vinci, Gandhi, Mohammed Ali, Rosa Parks, and more – only to confess that he lacks their fame, genius, or super-human qualities. Instead of feeling defeated, he turns this list into a celebration of what he does have: his own groove, his quirks, his “soul.” The catchy chorus reminds us that, while he may never be a superstar, being a Soulman with a big heart and honest passion is “déjà ça” – already something valuable.
At its core, the song delivers a warm message: you do not need to be a comic-book hero or history-book legend to matter. Embrace your imperfections, dance to your own rhythm, and share the unique spark only you can offer. Ben l’Oncle Soul invites listeners to drop the pressure of perfection, turn up the music, and feel proud of simply being themselves.
