SUPERFLY 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, 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 Chorus 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 woudn'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 Superfly (4x) "Tryin' ta get over..." (9x)

Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung. Voltaire (1694-1778)

Do you mean, what was Voltaire trying to say?

Yes, I suppose so, in a humorous way.

In the absolute off chance that you check this post one and a half years later... You can purchase #5 from www.timbertrout.com Under Recordings, it's on "Ubiquitous Lamp Twin Pack". FYI, the Preoccupied Pipers was the name of the project workgroup that Lawsuit grew out of. Thus, most of the tracks, like this one are really Lawsuit. Other tracks are various friends and collaborators. I highly suggest getting all 3 CDs off that site. Can't beat the price, including shipping. (And, no I'm not affiliated with them, just a fan.) Also the Preocc-Piper version is the longer, original version. If you want the shorter version from the later Lawsuit CD, drop an email, AIM, or ICQ # here and I will pass it along. I'll try to check back... someday...
