Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince
He's The Dj, I'm The Rapper
Nightmare On My Street
Now I have a story that I'd like to tell
About this guy - You all know me - had me scared as hell
He comes to me at night after I crawl into bed
He's burnt up like a weeny 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'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 groove
If we summoned up the posse and bum-rushed the movie
I got Angie
Jeff got tine
Ready Rock got some girl I'd never seen
In my life
That was all right though 'cause the lady was chill
Then we dipped to the theater set to ill
Buggin', cool, having' a ball
And somethin' 'bout Elm Street was the movie we saw
The way it started was decent, ya 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 all right when we left
But when I got home and laid down to sleep
That began the nightmare 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 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 turned off David Letterman, now you must DIE!!!"
Ma, I didn't 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
"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 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
But give me a call and maybe we'll hang out next week"
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 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, "Huh, 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
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
It's three o'clock in the morning
Jeff, Jeff, would you listen to me?
What?
Listen, whatever you do, don't fall asleep
Maaan
Jeff, listen to me, don't go to sleep, Jeff
No, NO, I talk to you tomorrow, I'm gong to bed
Jeff!
Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhhh! (Ha ha ha ha ha haaaa)
Jeff! Jeff! Jeff! Jeff! Answer me, Jeff!
I'm your D.J. now, Princy! Ha ha ha ha ha

uhh i think that saying came out a little bit before the disney movie.
uhh... thats were I got it from.
hahahaha... yeah tina, ummm... ahem... i THINK the LION KING, used that expression because it's well known and sort of ironic, being that the characters in the movie are animals. but the expression "monkey's uncle?" you'll have a hard time convincing me that the lion king made it up.
well, SCAR MADE IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!! thats my story and im sticking to it. lol hahahaha i think this has been the stupidest conversation ever. i have lost brain cells.
owwww watch out for that, you dont have many to spare...

hahaha
i had to do it....
ya know what i was just thinking....cause its only me and you (tina) that have posted like 20 comments on this story the past few days, prolly no one else is checking them, but then one day when they finally DO check them there are gonna be so many, and they all gonna be retarded nonsense from u and me! haha

im tryingggggggggggggggg!
heheh, yeah, pretty funny that you guys are writing all this in a story that nobody will probably look at again. except for MEEEE
My Gosh...eZabel really is ruled by Tina and Jahanna...I dont believe there were 20+ musings. Ian you are correct in saying "pretty funny that you guys are writing all this in a story that nobody will probably look at again." it was quite amusing though
eww! its so not! i only muse alot when i have time, if i dont then i wont!
lol do you have a special addition that tells u where the new comments are?
Hey you beat Tina to comment #100 cool beans!
its not a race... its just fun & games!
the problem with the rat race is....even if you win...YOUR STILL A RAT!
LOLOL! remember when you first said that, and i thought you made it up? lol!
LOL! yes, and of course it was at the meeting! when the most NOT funny things are SO funny! haha
i USED to have it... wait did i put it on my favorites... HMMMMMMMMM MuAhahaHHAHAhaahhaHAHahahha ian thinks he can control the world! but not while im around...(wait... this is one little website...)
and somehow, you guys return to this story....
araghhhhhhhhhh GO AWAY! lol if you keep saying how much you cant stand it, why do you keep writing?!?!
because I love to write...Im not saying I cant stand, actually its quite amusing...so continue, dont let me stop you :)
LOL! ohhhhhhhh man, you have got to be one of the weirdest people.....EVER!
nono, YOURE one of the weirdest... ;) he's something else
something else?? Is that "something else" meaning someone cool??
LOL! i HIGHLY doubt she was gonna say that....
Oh, so you dont think that I could be considered "someone cool"??
i plead the fifth.
LOL...do you know what pleading the 5th actually means??
yes, it's the right to remain silent....or in a crimanl case the right not to testifiy against yourself, in other words you dont have to take the stand, like OJ Simpson never did. what do YOU think it meant?
I knew what it meant...exactly what you stated...Im actually pretty impressed that you knew what it meant too...
yea dude, thats one of the first things you learn in criminal justice....
You took criminal justice?? For what reason...your gonna be a laywer??
noooo, it was an elective in HS, but im gonna take another class in college cause i really liked it....i'll prolly wind up working in criminal law cause its so interesting. (as a paralegal)
Oh...so your becomming a paraleegal...pretty cool.,..you can make decent money there, but its a lot of work!!
yea, i think i'll like it though, and plus i only want to work part-time and pioneer..(hopefully i can)
Awesome....so thats a good pioneer job??? hmmmm.....
no... YOU HATE MEEE
why would that make me anything?
Thats one long song, how did he remember it? He had someone with cue cards in front of him didnt he!
yea...either that or he never sang it live!
ok, just a random comment by a crazy brit.
As a brit my fondest memories are of vanilla ice, mc hammer, bros, mel and kim etc lol
Oh and scrunchies man did we overdo that one, like 6 to a pony tail lol.
Oh and one of the worst things ever, but still hold a special place in my heart were the flouresent (sp) bommer jackets and the psychadellic tights, leggings, snap on braclets.... basically anything psychadellic lol
oh and the evil cabbage patch kids urgh sends shivers down my spine lol
lol tina knows about the bommer jackets! haha i sawwwwwwwwww her closet!!! hahahha so funny
LAKE OF FIRE FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahhaha it was basically the same here in the US, i had the koolest leggings with leg warmers over them!!!!!!! also i still have my slap on braclets!!! i love them!!!!!!!!
AHH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!! THATS THE 90's!!!! Man all you little kids think you remember the 80's when you don't!!! its getting really annoying.
no offense lone9star. geese, I didn't think it would be that loud....
the 80's was NEW WAVE stuff people.. like that whacked out hair that was all shaved on the side and big on top.. and like weird ripped up clothes.. that was the 80's !!!!
don't pop a capilarry there dean! you know, decades do sorta flow into one another. it's not like 1989 was one way, and 1990 was a completely different way, the styles changed slowly. I definitely do have more memories from the early 90's than from the 80's though. Like the band Living Colour, and the show In Living Color. Good times good times. And dean, it's really not worth getting that upset over, it just means that you're older than all of us and therefore will die first.
FIRST MODIFIED COMMENT!!
here here
they may flow together, but when people talk about the 80's they aren't talking about a record that came out in 1991, they are talking about stuff that happened in the 80's.
wait, ive modified before...
yeah, but i called it.
reeeeeeeeeeeal mature poopy head!
oh ok dean thanks for the update, :-( but i was 7!!!!!! i mean would u shout like that at a seven yr old for makin a little mistake i think no :-D
lol, jk i had thought as much tho my memories arent definitive (gud word huh?), as im only a baby at 18
oh and thanks matt, u made me feel a little less like a divvy rofl (sooooooo an 80s word!) dont even try disputing it
dang lol
ive modified b4 that too, maybe ian has a system to see who modidifed first to end this dispute ;-)
yeah, you can look for comments that say they are Modified and hold your mouse cursor over the word, and it'll show what time it was modified.
oh and just as a side point - does ne1 else find dean scary?
looking?
lol see i knew there would be a way to solve this, but im outta the running, i think i only first nodified yesterday or the day b4
oh and as 4 dean - never seen his picture im afraid - but he sure as heck scares me enuf w/o it lol jk
ooo tina i was looking bac at somethin gon the musings and u modified on the 7/11 (7th nov)!
musings have been modifiable for a lonnnng time. i just never made these comments on stories modifiable until a few days ago. nice catch though, nine
ok i feel really stoooopid sorry :-(
go to your meeting!
i want to but me mum is in a right mood cos her parents are coming and she wont leave until the house is perfect grrrrrr she is in such a ratty mood
then help her clean!
or maybe you should just daydream about helping your mom clean, and then suddenly you'll wake up, and you'll be done!
LOL! and you say IM mean!
rofl
now that was funny, i have helped her loads
ive been hovering the whole house
i made the kingsize bed for me nan and grandad and made the tea
but then again nothing pleases her when she's in this kinda mood
