Loading...

[intro]
hey, hey
lord, lord
yeah, yeah
ah, ha
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

[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
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

[verse 3]
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
lord, lord
hey, hey
yeah, yeah
ha, ha
lord, lord
yeah, yeah!
ha, ha
yeah, yeah
freddie’s dead

[verse 4]
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

don’t wanna be like freddie, now
’cause freddie’s dead

hey, hey
yeah, yeah
if you don’t try
you’re gonna die

[verse 5]
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

[verse 6]
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’s dead
hey, hey
ha, ha
lord, lord
ha, ha
ooh, ooh
hey, hey
lord, lord
hey, hey
