From the Album: Hes the DJ, Im the Rapper
Now I have a story that Id like to tell
About this guy you all know - he had me scared as hell
He comes to me at night after I crawl into bed
Hes burnt up like a weenie and his name is Fred
He wears the same hat and sweater every single day
And even if its hot outside - he wears it anyway
Hes home when Im awake but he shows up when Im sleep
I cant believe that theres a nightmare on my street
It was a Saturday evening if I remember it right
And we had just gotten back off tour last night
So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy
If we summoned up the posse and bum-rushed the movie
I got Angie, Jeff got Tina
Ready Rock got some girl Id never seen in my life
That was all right though cause the lady was chill
Then we dipped to the theater set to ill
We saw Elm Street, and man, it was def!
And everything seemed all right when we left
But when I got home and laid down to sleep
That began the nightmare out on my street!
It was burning in my room like a oven
My bed soaked with sweat
And man I was bugging
I checked the clock and it stopped at twelve-thirty
It had melted it was so darn hot
And I was thirsty
I went downstairs to grab some juice in my coat
Flipped the TV off and then I almost choked
When I heard this awful voice coming from behind
It said, "You are my favorite rapper but now you must die!"
Man, I aint even wait to see who it was
Broke inside my drawers and screamed, "So long, cous!"
Got halfway up the block
I calmed down and stopped screaming
Then thought, "Oh, I git it, I must be dreaming"
I strolled back home with a grin on my grill
I think that 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
"Heres what well do
We gotta lotta work here, me and you
The souls of your friends you and I will claim
Youve got the body and Ive got the brain"
I said, "Yo Fred I think you got me all wrong
I aint partners with nobody with nails that long
Look, Ill be honest,man, this team wont work
The girls wont be on you, Fred, your face is all burnt!"
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "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 wasnt a dream, man, this guy was for real
I said, "Freddy, uh, pal, theres been an awful 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 something with Fred"
He jumped on my bed, went through 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, "Huh, I wasnt 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
O man, I gotta call Jeff, I gotta call Jeff
Come on, come on
Come on Jeff, answer! Come on, man
Hello
Jeff, this is Prince, man
Jeff, wake up, Jeff, wake up
What do you want?
Jeff, wake up, man, listen to me, Jeff
Its three oclock in the morning
Jeff, Jeff, would you listen to me?
Listen, whatever you do, dont fall asleep
Maaan
Jeff, list
