Текст песни Freddie's Dead (Curtis Mayfield) с переводом

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

Everybody’s misused him, ripped him off and abused him

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

'Cause Freddie’s dead

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
