The 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,

but 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

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'

times in ghetto streets

Tryin' ta get over

(spoken:)

That's what we tryin'

to do, y'all

(Sing:)

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
