Darkest of night
|
With the moon shinin' bright
|
There's a set goin' strong
|
Lotta things goin' on
|
The man of the hour
|
Has an air of great power
|
The dudes have envied him for so long
|
|
Oooh, 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
|
|
Oooh, 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' cards on ghetto streets
|
Tryin' ta get over
|
(That's what he tryin' to do, y'all)
|
Takin' all that he can take
|
Gamblin' with the odds of fate
|
Tryin' ta get over
|
Tryin' ta get over
|
Tryin' ta get over
|
Tryin' ta 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
|
|
Oooh, 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' ta get over... [9x]
