A Nightmare On My Street lyrics

A NIGHTMARE ON MY STREET

 D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

 He's the D.J, I'm the Rapper

 

 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, 'cuz lady was chill

 Then we dipped to the theatre 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 button, 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 'cuz!"

 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 killed 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

 

 C'mon, c'mon...

 C'mon Jeff, answer!

 C'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
