Freddie's Dead (05:29)
Curtis Mayfield • Superfly
Hey, hey...
Love, love...
Yeah, yeah...
Uh huh...
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.
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 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...
Hey, hey...
Yeah, yeah...
Huh huh...
Love, love...
Yeah, yeah...
Huh huh...
Yeah, yeah...

Superfly (04:00)
Curtis Mayfield • Superfly
Darkest of night
With the moon shining bright
There's a set goin' strong
Lotta things goin' on
The man of the hour
Has an air of great power
The dudes have envied him for so long

Oooh, Superfly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is Do or Die
Ah-ha-ha

Hard to understand
What a hell of a man
This cat of the slum
Had a mind, wasn't dumb
But a weakness was shown
'Cause his hustle was wrong
His mind was his own
But the man lived alone

Oooh, Superfly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is Do or Die
Ah-ha-ha

The game he plays he plays for keeps
Hustlin' times and ghetto streets
Tryin' ta get over
(That's what he tryin' to do, y'all)

Taking all that he can take
Gambling with the odds of fate
Tryin' ta get over (4x)
Woo, Superfly...

The aim of his role
Was to move a lot of blow
Ask him his dream
What does it mean?
He wouldn't know
"Can't be like the rest"
Is the most he'll confess
But the time's running out
And there's no happiness

Oooh, Superfly
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
The only game you know is Do or Die
Ah-ha-ha

Superfly (4x)

"Tryin' ta get over..." (9x)

Check Out Your Mind (03:29)
Curtis Mayfield • Superfly
Here's Something That You Never Had
It's Slid In On An Oily Rag
The Price Is Right Up On The Tag
I'll Put It In A Brand New Bag
This Thing Will Let You Be Yourself
And Won't Offend Nobody Else
Nothing Like You Ever Saw And It's Not Against The Law

Why Don't You Check Out Your Mind, Been With You All The Time

People Thinking They Been Took
Just Finding Out They Overlooked
They Never Found The Missing Link
Forgot They Had A Mind To Think

Why Don't You Check Out Your Mind, Been With You All The Time
Why Don't You Check Qut Your Mind, Been With You All The Time
Check Out Your Mind, Check Out Your Mind, Check Out Your Mind

Trust In Me And I In You No Matter What You See Me Do
I'm Doing Me For All I'm Worth, None Do Me Better On This Earth


Why Don't You Check Out Your Mind, Been With You All The Time
Why Don't You Check Out Your Mind, Been With You All The Time
Why Don't You Check Out Your Mind. Been With You All The Time
Why Don't You Check Out Your Mind
Why Don't You Check Out Your Mind
Why Don't You Check Out Your Mind
Why Don't You Check Out Your Mind

Kung Fu (03:49)
Curtis Mayfield • Superfly
Our days of comfort, days of night
Don't put yourself in solitude
Who can I trust with my life
When people tend to be so rude

My mama borned me in a ghetto
There was no mattress for my head
But, no, she couldn't call me Jesus
I wasn't white enough, she said

And then she named me, Kung Fu
Don't have to explain it, no, Kung Fu
Don't know how you'll take it, Kung Fu
I'm just trying to make it, Kung Fu

I've got some babys and some sisters
My brother worked for Uncle Sam
It's just a shame, ain't it, Mister
We being brothers of the damned

Keep your head high, Kung Fu
I will 'til I die, yeah, Kung Fu
Don't be too intense, no, Kung Fu
Keep your common sense, yeah, Kung Fu

Don't mistake life for a secret
There is no secret part of you
You bet your life if you think wicked
Someone else is thinking wicked too

My mama borned me in a ghetto
There was no mattress for my head
But, no, she couldn't name me Jesus
I wasn't white enough, she said

And then she named me, Kung Fu
Don't have to explain it, no, Kung Fu
Don't know how you'll take it, Kung Fu
I'm just trying to make it, Kung Fu

Hard Times (04:05)
Curtis Mayfield • Superfly
Cold, cold eyes on me they stare
People all around me and they're all in fear
They don't seem to want me but they won't admit
Thinkin' Black on Black
Strange creature out here havin' fits

From my body house I'm afraid to come outside
Although I'm filled with love
I'm afraid they'll hurt my pride
So I play the part I feel they want of me
And I'II pull the shades so I won't see them seein' me

Havin' Hard Times in this crazy town
Havin' Hard Times there's no love to be found

From my body house I see like me another
Familiar face of creed and race a brother
But to my surprise I found another man corrupt
Although he be my brother he wants to hold me up
