Superfly

The darkest of night with the moon shining bright

There's a set goin' strong, lot of things goin' on

The man of the hour has an air of great power

The dudes have envied him for so long

Oh, superfly

You're gonna make your fortune by and by

But if you lose, don't ask no questions why

The only game you know is do or die

Ah, ha-ha

Hard to understand, what a hell of a man

This cat of the slum had a mind, wasn't dumb

But a weakness was shown 'cause his hustle was wrong

His mind was his own, but the man lived alone

Oh, superfly

You're gonna make your fortune by and by

But if you lose, don't ask no questions why

The only game you know is do or die

Ah, ha-ha

The game he plays, he plays for keeps

Hustlin' times in ghetto streets

Tryin' to get over

That's what he tryin' to do, y'all

Taking all that he can take

Gambling with the odds of fate

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over

Woo, superfly

The aim of his role was to move a lot of blow

Ask him his dream, what does it mean? He wouldn't know

Can't be like the rest is the most he'll confess

But the time's running out and there's no happiness

Oh, superfly

You're gonna make your fortune by and by

But if you lose, don't ask no questions why

The only game you know is do or die

Ah, ha-ha

Superfly

Superfly

Superfly

Superfly

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over

Tryin' to get over
