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

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

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' 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

Wooh 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
