Testo Superfly - Recorded Live by WTTW-TV Chicago - Curtis Mayfield
Testo della canzone Superfly - Recorded Live by WTTW-TV Chicago (Curtis Mayfield), tratta dall'album The Very Best of Curtis Mayfield
Dark of the night with the moon shining bright
There's a set going strong, lotta things going on
The man of the hour has an air of grand power
The dudes have envied him for so long
Oh, 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, ah, ah
Hard to understand, but 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
Oh, 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, ah, ah
The game he plays, he plays for keeps
Hustling 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
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Tryin' to get over
Oh, Super Fly
The aim of his role was to move a lotta 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
Oh, 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, ah, ah
Super Fly
Super Fly
Super Fly
Super Fly
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
Super Fly
Super Fly
Thank you
