Curtis Mayfield - Freddie's Dead (instrumental version) lyrics

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 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 Huh huh Love, love Hey, hey 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 Why I need a woman child, don't wanna be like freddie now 'Cause freddie's dead Everybody's misused him, ripped him off and abused him Another junkie playin', pushin' dope for the man Freddie's on the corner now, if you wanna be a junkie, wow Remember, Freddie's dead Huh huh Huh huh Freddie's dead
