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 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' cards on ghetto streets Tryin' ta get over (That's what he tryin' to do, y'all) 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
