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
