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, Oooooo

CHORUS
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

CHORUS

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, Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over, Tryin' ta get over
Ooo, 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, ooooo

CHORUS

Superfly, Superfly
Superfly, Superfly

Tryin' ta get over, Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over, Tryin' ta get over
Tryin' ta get over
