Nightmare on My Street Songtext
von The Hit Crew

Now I have a story that I′d like to tell
About this guy you all know, he had me scared as hell
He comes to me late at night, after 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, you know 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 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 real groovy
If we summoned up the posse and dumb rushed the movie
I got Angie, and Jeff got Tina
Ready Rock got some girl I'd never seen in my life
But that was alright, the lady was chill
Then we dipped to the theater, set to ill
Buggin′ cold, havin' a ball
Something about Elm Street was the movie we saw
The way it started was decent, nothin′ fancy
About this homeboy named Fred and this fly girl named Nancy


But word when it was over, I said, "Yo, that was def!"
And everything seemed alright when we left, bet!
But when I got home and laid my little head down to sleep
That began the nightmare on my street
It was burnin' in my room like an oven
My bed was 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 nothing of it as I grabbed the remote
I pushed the power button then I almost choked
When I heard this awful voice come behind and said
"You are my favorite murder, but now you must die!"
Man, I ain't wait to see who it was
Poke inside my drawers and screamed "So long, cuz!"
Got halfway up the block I calmed down and stopped screamin'
Then thought, "Oh, I get it, hmm, I must be dreamin′"
I stormed 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
"Here′s what we'll do, we got a lot of work to do
You sold your friends, you and I will claim
You know what, you got the body, and I′ve got the brain"
I said, "Yo Fred, I think you got me all wrong
I ain't partners with nobody with nails that long"
I said, "Look, I′ll be honest man, this team won't work
The girls won′t be on you, 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 you know, gimme a call, we′ll get together next week"
I patted him on the shoulder, said, "Thanks for stoppin' by"
Then I opened up the door and said, "Take care, guy"
He got mad, drew back his arm and sliced my shirt
I laughed at first then thought, "Hold up, wait a minute, that hurt"
It wasn′t a dream, man, this guy was for real
I said, "Uh, Freddy, uh, pal, there's been an awful mistake here"
No further words were said and then I darted upstairs
Crashed through my door and then jumped on the 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, "Hmm, I wasn′t scared of him anyway"
Until I noticed there was rips in my sheets
And that was the proof that there had been a nightmare on my street
Aw man, I gotta call Jeff
I gotta call Jeff, come on, come on, come on, Jeff
Answer, come on man
Hello?
Jeff, this is the Prince, man, Jeff, wake up, Jeff, wake up
What do you want?
Jeff, wake up, man, listen to me, Jeff
It's three in the morning, what do you want?
Jeff, Jeff, would you listen to me? Listen
Whatever you do, don′t fall asleep
Aw, man
Jeff, listen to me, don't go to sleep, Jeff
Look, I'll talk to you tomorrow, I′m going to bed
Jeff, Jeff, answer me, Jeff
Jeff!
