Superfly

Lyrics

Darkest of night
 With the moon shining 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
 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
 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
 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
 The game he plays he plays for keeps
 Hustlin' times and ghetto streets
 Tryin' ta 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
 Ooh, 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
 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
 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
