Testo Freddy's Dead - Curtis Mayfield
Testo della canzone Freddy's Dead (Curtis Mayfield), tratta dall'album The Berlin Sessions
Hey, hey
Lord, Lord
My, my
Yeah, yeah
Freddie's dead
That's what I said
Let the man rap a plan
Said he'd sing 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 off 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, well
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
Everybody's misused him
Ripped him off and abused him
Another junkie plan
Pushin' dope for the man
A Freddie's on the corner now
If you wanna be a junkie, well
Remember Freddie's dead
Yeah, yeah
Lord, Lord
Ooh-wee
My, my
Yeah, yeah
Lord, Lord
Oh, yeah
My, my
Lord, Lord
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
Ooh, I need a woman child
I don't wanna be like Freddie, now
'Cause Freddie's dead
Everybody's misused him
Ripped him off and abused him
Another junkie plan
Pushin' dope for the man
A Freddie's on the corner now
If you wanna be a junkie
Do you wanna be a junkie?
You don't wanna be a junkie
You don't have to be junkie
Remember Freddie's dead
Lord, Lord
Hey, hey
Ooh-wee
My, my
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 off and abused him
Another junkie plan
Pushin' dope for the man
A Freddie's on the corner now
If you wanna be a junkie, well
Remember, Freddie's dead
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Freddie
Ooh-wee
Freddie
Lord, Lord
Freddie
My, my
Freddie
Yeah, yeah
Freddie's dead
