[Intro – Funky guitar lick + horns riff + bounce beat]
Uh! Yeah yeah…
Still standing, still shining, let’s go!
(Whooo!)
[Verse 1]
They tried to shake me, take me down
But I just spin it back around
With every fall, I find my beat
Got that groove back in my feet
My soul don’t break, it only bends
Like vinyl tracks, it never ends
I walk through fire, smooth and bold
Still got my rhythm, heart of gold
[Pre-Chorus – with funky bass slap]
Turn it up, don’t turn me down
I wear my soul just like a crown
[Chorus – upbeat, singable, with call & response]
I’m the last standing man (Say what?)
Groovin’ strong like no one can (Oh yeah!)
No diamonds but I’ve got this jam
I’m here, I’m here, I’m here
I’m the last standing man (Let’s dance!)
Still movin’ with no master plan
I fall, I rise, and here I am
Still me, still me, still me
[Verse 2]
I don’t need no fancy throne
This mic and beat, I call my own
I flip the pain into a song
Been singing truth my whole life long
They wonder how I smile so wide
With storms and shadows by my side
But baby, when you’ve got that funk
You rise no matter how life sunk
[Pre-Chorus – harmony layering]
Let it ride, don’t let it fade
This soul parade is self-made
[Chorus – with brass punches + crowd chant]
I’m the last standing man (One time!)
Groovin’ strong like no one can (All right!)
No diamonds but I’ve got this jam
I’m here, I’m here, I’m here
I’m the last standing man (Oh yeah!)
Still movin’ with no master plan
I fall, I rise, and here I am
Still me, still me, still me
[Bridge – funk breakdown with talkbox or synth]
Step by step, I built this groove
Can’t stop now, I’m in my move
Even if the lights go black
I bring my funk, I bring it back
[Break – Ska meets funk horn section]
(Hit me!)
Last man dancin’, no retreat
Skankin’ smooth with funky feet
No disguise, this is my truth
Grown in soul since my youth
[Final Chorus – full energy, harmonies, crowd feel]
I’m the last standing man
Groovin’ loud across the land
No bling, no plan, just who I am
I’m free, I’m free, I’m free
I’m the last standing man
Still got rhythm in my hand
I fall, I rise, I take my stand
It’s me, it’s me, it’s me
[Outro – bass groove + horn stabs fade out]
Still here… still groovin’
Still standin’… still movin’
The last standing man…
(Funky ‘til the end…)
NEITO
