Mayfield, Curtis - Freddie's Dead 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
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
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

Mayfield, Curtis Freddie's Dead Comments
Loved the movie! I was just a kid I can’t believe I was allowed to see it at the Fox theater! ♥️👍🏽
Shame music. Had blacks dancing on shame music. Dancing on proud dope addict music. I lost my marbles back in 1973.
Another junkie plan pushing dope for the man.
For Freddie Gray. He is till dead.
So Vietnam
Where is the best friend I say where is the best
I love listening to this on glummy, rainy days.
IF YA WANA BE A JUNKIE WOW!
2019 Anyone?
Whata hell
Superfly best movie out of the blaxplotation era hands down
this album was for the streets i love this album
smoke dog baby
All the lyrics to his music is genius.must have took years of practice an raw natural talent....r.i.p.....
Filthy..
I bought this 45 in 6th grade, even though, growing up in a middle class suburb, I didn't think of it as something directly relevant to my life. But when I think back on it, my best friend during those years ended up dying of crack lung in 2003; I'm not quite as removed from all this as I might have thought back then.
"You have the right to shut the fuck up"
1.1k people can't get over the fact that Freddie died.
the jingo kid was here
“WHY CANT WE BROTHERS PROTECT ONE ANOTHER, NO ONES SERIOUS AND IT MAKES ME FURIOUS”....i felt that shit in my soul..
Born 1992 this one of my favorite songs still relevant and listening in 2019!

Wassup smokeyy
Those who disliked would rather listen to Miley virus or the Beatles. Smh
This amazing artist changed the face of soul. Taking it to a level not seen before. Mixing Dylan's social commentary with the gritty reality of ghetto life. A truly unique talent....TJ STRUSKA
Curtis sang this before Freddie Mercury died.
But he was talking about Freddie in the film SuperFly
Was fortunate to see Curtis and the Impressions in our Auditorium when I was in college. Those were the days. To me, this was the rap of the day, when every song told a story.
Listen to the words fred is dead we ain,t listen people.🐼
Freddie Kruger?
Racionais mcs ... mano na porta do bar ... pesado
Gangsta music before gangsta rap
“Oh I hit it real hard right”
A Great Song Showing Talent We Will Never Hear Again

1.1K dislikes .. Really! This whole album is classic along with the movie that started an era, a style. Well, there's no accounting for taste. Haters gonna hate. Somebody has too ..
The violins turn into police sirens!🚨
This song reminds me of my pal Chuck Boston when we used to play together.
Is this Bob Ezrin who produced this? Baseline?
Some things never change now let's hear the Gibson jazzmaster

Mano na porta do bar - Racionais
Sooooooo, I prolly hadn't heard this song in at least 25 years. Was living out west in San Francisco. On my way to a sewing class, I ran into the teacher and she gave me a ride. This song was playing when I got into the car. We turned it up loud and slowly drove to the class. She passed away some time later very unexpectedly. Now, whenever I hear this song, I think of her and that ride. Her name? Fredd!
Friday lol
and Lest we forget; his OWN record Label too (Curtom) Great grooves and moves.
Everybody's misused him ripped him up and abused him #llfreddie

A pimp named slickback.
The junkies anthem
Listen to the song if you want to be a junkie WOW.
The truth of the matter is too many black musicians have been/are masters of the music they create, be it soul, blues, jazz, bebop, doowop. funk-- you name a category; they just don't get the due credit. Black musicians have to transcend great to be called great while others may not possess nearly the talent but will be labeled the greatest, and paid millions of dollars more.
Tibetha Bunting,,( class of 75) Atlantic City 75-2010 he lost his fight, God bless my brother, your still fly my friend!
Did you see that bro on The bar door ?
Look hector almost hit his nasty ass 😂😂😂
