Superfly Sister Lyrics

Cover art for Superfly Sister lyrics by Michael Jackson

Overall, this song questions sex and what it means, or shouldn't mean, to people. However there are also a few lyrics that discuss other issues in his life.

"Sister's married to a hood, saying that she got it good" He could mean sister as in any girl, but apparently Michael wasn't too keen on his sister Janet's first marriage. This may have something to do with his feelings on that.

"Mother's preaching Abraham, brothers they don't give damn" Michael's mother is a Jahova's Witness and brought her children up the same. However, Michael felt his brothers were somewhat unruly and cared more about having a good time and sleeping around.

Song Meaning

@ElectricGirrrl Agreed, the sister line could also refer to LaToya, as at the time she was estranged from her family and under the control of her manager/husband, who was alleged to have criminal ties.
