Freddie's Dead (Theme from "Superfly")

Hey, hey

Lord, Lord

Yeah, yeah

Uh-huh

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 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

Hey, hey

Lord, Lord

Hey, hey

Yeah, yeah

Ha, ha

Lord, Lord

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

Ooh, I need a woman child

Don't wanna be like Freddie now

'Cause 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 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

Freddie's dead

Hey, hey

Ha, ha

Lord, Lord

Ha, ha

Ooh-hoo

Hey, hey

Lord, Lord
