Curtis Mayfield - Freddie's dead - remastered lyrics

Hey, hey Love, love Yeah, yeah Ah, ha Freddie's dead That's what I said Let the rap a plan Said he'd see him home But his hope was a rope And he should've known It's hard to understand That there's 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 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 Hey, hey Yeah, yeah Ha, ha Love, love Yeah, yeah Ha, ha Yeah, yeah 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 Hey, hey Yeah, yeah If you don't try You're going to die Why can't we brothers Protect one another No one's serious And it makes me furious Don't be misled Just think of Fred 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 Hey, hey Ha, ha Love, love Ha, ha
