| [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Oooh, Super Fly 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 [Verse 2] 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] Oooh, Super Fly 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 [Verse 3] The game he plays, he plays for keeps Hustlin' times and ghetto streets Tryin' to get over That's what he tryin' to do, y'all Taking all that he can take Gambling with the odds of fate [Bridge] Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Woo, Super Fly, huh, huh [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Oooh, Super Fly 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 [Bridge 2] Super Fly Super Fly Super Fly Super Fly [Outro] Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over |
