Lyrics

[00:25.59] Darkest of night
[00:26.49] With the moon shining bright
[00:28.21]
[00:29.03] There's a set goin' strong
[00:30.79] Lotta things goin' on
[00:32.44] The man of the hour
[00:34.78] Has an air of great power
[00:36.37]
[00:37.17] The dudes have envied him for so long
[00:39.59]
[00:40.72] Oh Superfly
[00:41.73]
[00:43.83] You're gonna make your fortune by and by
[00:46.17]
[00:47.51] But if you lose don't ask no questions why
[00:50.09]
[00:51.58] The only game you know is Do or Die
[00:54.19]
[00:55.14] Ah-ha-ha
[00:56.34]
[00:57.39] Hard to understand
[00:59.09] What a hell of a man
[01:00.50]
[01:01.30] This cat of the slum
[01:02.60] Had a mind wasn't dumb
[01:04.25]
[01:05.13] But a weakness was shown
[01:06.89] 'Cause his hustle was wrong
[01:08.31]
[01:09.08] His mind was his own
[01:10.81] But the man lived alone
[01:12.06]
[01:12.70] Ooh Superfly
[01:13.93]
[01:14.89] You're gonna make your fortune by and by
[01:18.20]
[01:19.56] But if you lose don't ask no questions why
[01:22.17]
[01:23.62] The only game you know is Do or Die
[01:26.26]
[01:27.43] Ah-ha-ha
[01:28.39]
[01:29.37] The game he plays he plays for keeps
[01:32.06]
[01:33.53] Hustlin' times and ghetto streets
[01:35.56]
[01:36.20] Tryin' to get over
[01:37.67]
[01:40.21] That's what he tryin' to do y'all
[01:41.98]
[01:45.61] Taking all that he can take
[01:47.96]
[01:49.68] Gambling with the odds of fate
[01:52.06]
[01:52.58] Tryin' to get over
[01:54.17]
[01:56.64] Tryin' to get over
[01:58.51]
[02:00.57] Tryin' to get over
[02:02.60]
[02:04.57] Tryin' to get over
[02:06.62]
[02:08.92] Wooh Superfly
[02:10.28]
[02:25.62] The aim of his role
[02:26.97] Was to move a lot of blow
[02:28.72]
[02:29.50] Ask him his dream
[02:30.69] What does it mean He wouldn't know
[02:32.55] Can't be like the rest
[02:34.61] Is the most he'll confess
[02:36.44] But the time's running out
[02:38.87] And there's no happiness
[02:40.18]
[02:40.82] Ooh Superfly
[02:42.12]
[02:43.98] You're gonna make your fortune by and by
[02:46.88]
[02:47.68] But if you lose don't ask no questions why
[02:50.16]
[02:51.71] The only game you know is Do or Die
[02:54.29]
[02:55.47] Ah-ha-ha
[02:56.10]
[02:57.38] Superfly
[02:57.79]

[03:06.01]
[03:09.34] Superfly
[03:10.04]
[03:12.30] Tryin' to get over
[03:13.96]
[03:16.31] Tryin' to get over
[03:17.82]
[03:20.21] Tryin' to get over
[03:21.82]
[03:24.18] Tryin' to get over
[03:25.75]
[03:28.12] Tryin' to get over
[03:29.78]
[03:32.15] Tryin' to get over
