Текст пісні
Darkest of night with the moon shining bright
There's a set going strong, lots of things going on
The man of the hour has an air of great power
The dudes have envied him for so long
Ooh, 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, die
Hard to understand what a hell of a man
This cat of the slum has a mind, wasn't dumb
But the weakness was shown 'cause his hustle was wrong
His mind was his own but the man lived alone
Ooh, 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
How does it pay to be a Superfly?
Oh, does it pay to be a Superfly?
The game he plays, he plays for keeps
Hustling times and ghetto streets
Try to get over, that's what he's tryna do, y'all
Taking all that he can take
And gambling with the odds of fate
Try to get over, try to get over
And try to get over, and try to get over
Get over
The aim of his role was to move a lot of blow
Ask him his dream, what did it mean? He wouldn't know
Can't be like the rest is the most to confess
Time is running out and there's no happiness
Ooh, Superfly
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
Oh, does it pay to be a Superfly?
How much does it pay to be a Superfly?
Oh, Lord
Oh, Superfly
You can make your fortune by and by
'Cause if you lose, there ain't no questions why
Try to get over, try to get over
Try to get over, try to get over
Oh, try to get over, try to get over
Oh, try to get over, try to get over
Get over
