Karaoké Freddie's Dead Curtis Mayfield

Hey hey

Love, love

Yeah yeah

Ah ha

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

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 up and abused him

Another junkie plan

Pushin' dope for the man

A terrible blow but that's how it goes

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 nothin' said 'cos 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 tryin' 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 because 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

Ha ha ha ha ha

Freddie's dead

Hey hey

Ha ha

Love, love

Ha ha

Hoo hoo

Hey hey

Love, love

Hey hey
