Freddie’s Dead (Single Edit) Curtis Mayfield

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...
