Superfly lyrics
Songwriters: Mayfield, Curtis;

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

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

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

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
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

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

Superfly superfly
Superfly superfly
Tryin to get over
Tryin to get over
Tryin to get over
