Curtis Mayfield - Freddie's Dead (Theme From Superfly) Lyrics

Artist: Curtis Mayfield

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: R&B

  • Songwriters: Curtis Mayfield

Freddie's dead
Thats what I said
Let the man read the plan said it singing home
But his home was a rope and he should've known

Everybody's misused him
Ripped him up and abused him
Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man
A terrible blow, but thats how it goes

A Freddies 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
Ha, ha
Love, love
Hey, hey
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, I need a woman child

Don't wanna be like Freddie now
'Cause Freddie's dead

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

Freddie's dead
