Curtis Mayfield - Freddie's Dead Lyrics
Hey, hey...Love, love...Yeah, yeah...Uh huh...Freddie's dead.That's what I said...Let the man rap a plan; 'said he'd send him home.But his hope was a rope, and he should have known.It's hard to understand; there was love in this man.I'm sure all would agree, that his misery,was his woman and things.Now Freddie's dead.That's what I said...Everybody's misused him; ripped him off and abused him.Another junkie playin'; pushin' dope for the man.A terrible blow, but that's how it go...Freddie's on the corner now... if you wanna be a junkie, wow...Remember, Freddie's 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 Freddie's dead.Hey, hey...Love, love...Hey, hey...Yeah, yeah...Huh huh...Love, love...Yeah, yeah...Huh huh...Yeah, yeah...
