Curtis Mayfield - Mayfield: Remixed/ The Curtis Mayfield Collection [compilation] (2005) by Curtis Mayfield (보컬) on maniadb.com

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
Woo, Superfly
- 간 주 중 -
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
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
Tryin' ta get over...

Hush now child,
and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
by and by
Move on up
towards your destination
You may find
from time to time
Complications

Bight your lip
and take a trip
Though there may be
wet road ahead
You cannot slip
So move on up
and peace you will find
Into the steeple
of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind

So hush now child
and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
by and by
Just move on up
and keep on wishing
Remember your dreams
are your only schemes
So keep on pushing
Take nothing less -
not even second best
And do not obey -
you must have your say
You can past the test

Move on up!

Hey Hey - Love Love - Yeh Yeh - Ah Ha
Freddies dead, thats what i said.
Let the man read, the plan, said it singing home
But his home was a rope and he should've known.
Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him.
Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man.
A terrible blow, but thats how it goes.
A freddies on the corner now.
If you wanna be a junkie wow.
Remember freddies dead.
We're all built up with progress
But sometimes i must confess.
We can deal with rockets and dreams
But reality, what does it mean?
Ain't nothing said, cause freddies dead.
Hey Hey-Love Love-Ha Ha-Love Love-He Hey-Ha Ha-Yeh Yeh
Freddies dead
All i want is some peace of mind
With a little love i'm trying to find.
This could be such a beautiful world, with a wonderful girl.
I need a woman child. Don't wanna be like freddie now.
Cause freddies dead
Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him.
Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man.
A freddies on the corner now.
If you wanna be a junkie why, remember freddies dead.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha freddies dead
Hey Hey - Ha Ha - Love Love - Ha Ha
