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 Oooh, 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 Oooh, 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 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 (4x) Woo, Superfly... 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 Oooh, 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 Superfly (4x) "Tryin' ta get over..."

People get ready
There' a train a-coming You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord People get ready For the train to Jordan Picking up passengers From coast to coast Faith is the key Open the doors and board them There's room for all Among the loved the most There ain't no room For the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind just To save his own Have pity on those Whose chances GROW thinner Cause there's no hiding place From the Kingdom's Throne So people get ready For the train a-coming You don't need no baggage You just get on board! All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming You don't need no ticket You just than, you just thank the Lord Yeah Ooh Yeah Ooh I'm getting ready I'm getting ready This time I'm ready This time I'm ready |
