Darkest of night
And the moon shining bright
There's a set going strong
Lotta things going on
The man of the hour
Has an air of great power
The dudes have envied him for so long
Ooh, 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, ha, ay
Hard to understand
What a hell of a man
This cat from 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
Ah, Superfly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
And if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is Do or Die
Ah-ha-ha, ha, ay
The game he plays, he plays for keeps
(Plays for keeps)
Hustling time and ghetto streets
Trying to get over
(Over)
Taking all that he can take
(He can take)
Gambling with the hands of fate
Trying to get over
(Over, yeah)
Just trying to get over
(Over)
Just trying to get over
(Over)
I'm just trying ta get over, over
(Trying to get over)
Ooh, Superfly
Mm-hmm, yeah
Well, the aim of his role
Was to move a bit of blow
Ask him his dream
What does it mean?
He wouldn't know
"Can't be like the rest"
Is the most he will confess
But the time's running out
And there's no happiness
Oh, baby, 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, ha, ay
Superfly
I'm just trying to get over
I'm just trying to get over
Trying to get over
I'm just trying to get over, over
Oh, I'm just trying to get over
I'm just trying to get over
I'm just trying to get over
Mmm, I'm just trying to get over, over
I'm just trying to get, oh...
Ow!
