Hey, hey
Love, love
Yeah, yeah
Huh, 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
A 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
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
I need a woman child
Don't wanna be like Freddie now
'Cause Freddie's dead
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
If you don't try
You're gonna 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
Pushin' dope for the man
A Freddie's on the corner now
If you wanna be a junkie, why
Remember Freddie's dead
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh
Freddie's dead
Hey, hey
Huh, huh
Love, love
Huh, huh
Huh, huh
Hey, hey
Love, love
Curtis Lee Mayfield (Chicago, June 3, 1942 – Los Angeles, December 26, 1999) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. Considered a pillar of soul and African-American music, Mayfield left an indelible mark on musical history thanks to his powerful voice, catchy melodies, and incisive lyrics that addressed social issues such as the civil rights struggle, poverty, and racial oppression.
