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      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' 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' ta get over (4x)   Woo, Superfly...      The aim of his role   Was to move a lot of blow   Ask him his dream   What does it mean?   He woudn'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 (4x)      "Tryin' ta get over..." (9x)
