Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince - Nightmare On My Street lyrics

Now I have a story that I'd like to tell About this guy, you all know me I was scared as hell He comes to me at night when I crawl into bed He's burnt up like a weenie and his name is Fred He wears the same hat and sweater every single day And even if it's hot outside, he wears it anyway! He's home when I'm awake, but he shows up when I sleep I can't believe that there's a nightmare, on my street! It was a Saturday evening if I remember it right And we had just gotten off of tour last night So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy If we summoned up the posse and down watch a movie I got Angie, Jeff got Tina Ready Rock got some girl I've never seen in my life That was alright though, ''cause lady was chill Then we dipped to the theater set to ill Buggin' , cold havin' a ball And somethin' 'bout Elm Street was the movie we saw The way it started was decent You know, nothin' real fancy About this homeboy named Fred And this girl named Nancy But, word! When it was over, I said, "Yo, that was def!" And everything seemed alright when we left But when I got home and laid down to sleep That began the nightmare, on my street! It was burnin' in my room like an oven My bed soaked with sweat, and man, I was buggin' I checked the clock, and it stopped at 12:30 It had melted it was so darn hot, and I was thirsty I wanted something cool to quench my thirst I thought to myself, Yo! This heat is the worst! But when I got downstairs, I noticed something was wrong I was home all alone, but the TV was on. I thought nothin' of it as I grabbed the remote I pushed the power bu*ton, and I then almost choked When I heard this aweful voice comin' from behind, it said "You are my favorite rapper, but now you must die!" (?) Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was Broke inside my drawers and screamed, "So long ''cause!" Got halfway up the block, I calmed down and stopped screamin' And thought, Oh, I get it, I must be dreamin' I strolled back home with a grin on my grill I'm thinkin' since this is a dream, I might as well get ill I walked in the house, the big, bad, Fresh Prince But Freddy k**ed all that noise real quick He grabbed me by my neck and said, "Here's what we'll do. We've got a lotta work here, me and you, The souls of your friends, you and I will claim. You've got the body, and I've got the brains." I said, "Yo, Fred. I think you've got me all wrong. I ain't parnters with nobody with nails that long. Look, I'll be honest man, this team won't work The girls won't be yours, Fred, your face is all burnt" Fred got mad and his head started steamin' But I thought what the hell, I'm only dreamin' I said, "Please leave Fred, so I can get some sleep. But gimme a call, and maybe we'll hang out next week." I pat him on the shoulder, say, "Thanks for stoppin' by." Then I opened up the door and said, "Take care, guy!" He got mad, threw back his arm, and slashed my shirt I laughed at first, then thought, Hold up...that hurt. It wasn't a dream, man, this guy was for real I said, "Freddy, uh, uh, there's been an aweful mistake here." No further words, and then I darted upstairs Crashed through my door then jumped on my bed Pulled the covers up over my head and said, "Oh please, do somethin' with Fred!" He jumped on my bed and threw the covers with his claws Tried to get me...but my alarm went off. and then Silence It was a whole new day, I thought. Heh...I wasn't scared of him, anyway. Until I noticed those rips in my sheets And that was proof that there had been a nightmare, on my street. Oh man, I gotta call Jeff, I gotta call Jeff See'mon, see'mon... See'mon Jeff, answer! See'mon man Jeff: Hello... Prince: Jeff, it's Prince man, Jeff, wake up Jeff, wake up! Jeff: What do you want?! Prince: Jeff, wake up, man. Listen to me. Jeff Jeff: It's 3 O'clock in the morning, what do you want? Prince: Jeff, listen, Jeff, would you listen to me? Whatever you do, don't Fall asleep. Jeff: Man! Prince: Jeff..listen to me. Don't go to sleep Jeff: Look, I'll talk to you tomorrow, I'm goin' to bed AGHH.....AGHHH Prince: Jeff! Jeff! ..........Jeff, answer me, Jeff! Freddy: I'm your D.J. now, Princy...HA HA HA
