[ti:Nightmare On My Street] [ar:DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince] [al:] [la:uk] From the Album: He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper [00:22]Now I have a story that I'd like to tell [00:25]About this guy you all know - he had me scared as hell [00:29]He comes to me at night after I crawl into bed [00:31]He's burnt up like a weenie and his name is Fred [00:34]He wears the same hat and sweater every single day [00:37]And even if it's hot outside - he wears it anyway [00:40]He's home when I'm awake but he shows up when I'm 'sleep [00:42]I can't believe that there's a nightmare on my street [00:56]It was a Saturday evening if I remember it right [01:00]And we had just gotten back off tour last night [01:02]So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy [01:05]If we summoned up the posse and bum-rushed the movie [01:08]I got Angie, Jeff got Tina [01:11]Ready Rock got some girl I'd never seen in my life [01:14]That was all right though 'cause the lady was chill [01:16]Then we dipped to the theater set to ill [01:19]We saw Elm Street, and man, it was def! [01:22]And everything seemed all right when we left [01:24]But when I got home and laid down to sleep [01:28]That began the nightmare out on my street! [01:42]It was burning in my room like a oven [01:44]My bed soaked with sweat [01:45]And man I was bugging [01:47]I checked the clock and it stopped at twelve-thirty [01:50]It had melted it was so darn hot [01:52]And I was thirsty [01:53]I went downstairs to grab some juice in my coat [01:56]Flipped the TV off and then I almost choked [01:58]When I heard this awful voice coming from behind [02:01]It said, "You are my favorite rapper but now you must die!" [02:04]Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was [02:07]Broke inside my drawers and screamed, "So long, cous'!" [02:10]Got halfway up the block [02:11]I calmed down and stopped screaming [02:12]Then thought, "Oh, I git it, I must be dreaming" [02:15]I strolled back home with a grin on my grill [02:17]I think that since this is a dream I might as well get ill [02:21]I walked in the house, the Big Bad Fresh Prince [02:24]But Freddy killed all that noise real quick! [02:27]he grabbed me by my neck and said [02:28]"Here's what we'll do [02:29]We gotta lotta work here, me and you [02:32]The souls of your friends you and I will claim [02:35]You've got the body and I've got the brain" [02:38]I said, "Yo Fred I think you got me all wrong [02:40]I ain't' partners with nobody with nails that long [02:43]Look, I'll be honest,man, this team won't work [02:46]The girls won't be on you, Fred, your face is all burnt!" [02:49]I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thanks for stoppin' by" [02:52]Then I opened up the door [02:53]And said, "Take care, guy!" [02:54]He got mad, threw back his arm, and slashed my shirt [02:58]I laughed at first, then thought, "Hold up, that hurt" [03:00]It wasn't a dream, man, this guy was for real [03:03]I said, "Freddy, uh, pal, there's been an awful mistake here" [03:06]No further words and then I darted upstairs [03:09]Crashed through my door then jumped on my bed [03:12]Pulled the covers up over my head [03:14]And said, "Oh please do something with Fred" [03:17]He jumped on my bed, went through the covers with his claws [03:20]Tried to get me, but my alarm went off [03:23]And then silence [03:24]It was a whole new day [03:25]I thought, "Huh, I wasn't scared of him anyway" [03:28]Until I noticed those rips in my sheets [03:31]And that was proof that there had been [03:32]A nightmare on my street [03:43]O man, I gotta call Jeff, I gotta call Jeff [03:50]Come on, come on [03:53]Come on Jeff, answer!
