Letra

[Intro]
Hey, hey
Lord, Lord
Yeah, yeah
Uh-huh
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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 go
Uh, 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
'Cause Freddie's dead
[Bridge]
Hey, hey
Lord, Lord
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Ha, ha
Lord, Lord
Yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Ha, ha
Yeah, yeah
Freddie's dead
[Verse 3]
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
Ooh, I need a woman child
[Verse 4]
Don't wanna be like Freddie now
'Cause Freddie's dead
[Bridge]
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
If you don't try
You're gonna die
[Verse 6]
Why can't we brothers protect one another?
No one's serious, and it makes me furious
[Verse 7]
Don't be misled
Just think of Fred
[Chorus]
Everybody's misused him
Ripped him off and abused him
Another junkie plan
Pushin' dope for The Man
Uh, Freddie's on the corner now
If you wanna be a junkie, wow
Remember Freddie's dead
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
[Outro]
Freddie's dead
Hey, hey
Ha, ha
Lord, Lord
Ha, ha
Ooh-hoo
Hey, hey
Lord, Lord
