A Nightmare On My Street

A Nightmare On My Street （1988Extended Remix）-Will Smith

Now I have a story that I'd like to tell

About this guy you all know him he had me scared as hell

He comes to me 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 he wears it anyway

He's gone when I'm awake but he shows up when I'm asleep

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 back off tour last night

So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy

If we summoned up the posse and done rushed the movies

I got Angie Jeff got Tina

Ready rock got some girl I'd never seen in my life

That was all right because the lady was chill

Then we dipped to the theater set to ill

Bugging cold having a ball

And something bout elm street was the movie we saw

The way it started was decent ya know nothing real fancy

Bout this guy named Fred and this girl named Nancy

But word when it was over I said yo that was def.

And everything seemed all right when we left

But when I got home and laid down to sleep

That began the nightmare but on my street

It was burning in my room like an oven

My bed soaked with sweat and man I was bugging

I checked the clock and it stopped at 1230

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 and then I almost choked

When I heard this awful voice coming from behind

It said you cut off heavy metal and now you must die

Man I ain't even wait to see who it was

Broke outside my drawers and screamed so long cuz

Got halfway up the block I calmed down and stopped screaming

Then thought oh I get it I must be dreaming

I strolled back home with a grin on my grill

I figured 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 gotta 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 brain

I said yo Fred I think you've got me all wrong

I ain't partners with nobody with nails that long

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 steaming

But I thought what the hell I'm only dreaming

I said please leave Fred so I can get some sleep

Or gimme a call and maybe we'll hang out next week

I patted him on the shoulder said thanks for stopping by

Then I opened up the door and said take care guy

He got mad drew 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 pal there's 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 uh 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

Come on come on

Come on Jeff answer

Come on man

Hello
