Freddie's Dead Lyrics - Superfly [tko] - Curtis Mayfield

Freddie's dead 

That's what I said 

Let the man rap a plan 

Said he'd see him home 

But his hope was a rope 

And he should've known 

Everybody's misused him 

Ripped him up and abused him 

Another junkie plan 

Pushing dope for the man 

A terrible blow 

But that's how it goes 

A Freddie's on the corner now 

If you want to 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 

Ha, ha 

Love, love 

Yeah, yeah 

Ha, ha 

Love, love 

Freddie's 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 

Why I need a woman child 

Don't want to be like Freddie now 

'Cause Freddie's dead 

Everybody's misused him 

Ripped him up and abused him 

Another junkie plan 

Pushing dope for the man 

A Freddie's on the corner now 

If you want to be a junkie, why 

Remember Freddie's dead 

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha 

Freddie's dead
