A Real Bad Dream Lyrics by Kris Kross

Totally Krossed Out

1992

[Intro]
At the bottom of our news tonight
There's been a new animal aimed in the direction
Of falling off the face of the Earth
Yes—, yes—, yes, young Black teenagers
Yes—, yes—, yes, young Black teenagers are reported to be the oldest
And the newest creatures added to the endangered species list
[Verse: Mac Daddy]
I went to sleep kinda early on a Friday night
Tryna catch me some Zs, instead of caught me a fright
I fell into a dream of me being deep in the game
Slanging, gangbanging, you know what I'm saying, right?
Standing on the corner with a mouth full of golds
Fresh from the store, flashing my bankroll
Every day I'm in a Dickies suit, picking up loot
And if I have to, it ain't nothing for me to shoot
Boom, boom, boom in the game is how you win
Thirteen now, at fourteen I'm a kingpin
I'm tossing and turning saying, "Man, when will this dream end?"
'Cause if it don't, I'll probably be choking on a MAC-10
Somebody hit me on the phone
Hello?
Hey yo, Kris, man, Casey just got smoked, yeah, man
Man, now I'm tossing and turning for my moke
'Cause somebody told me that my homie just got smoked
I'm glad this ain't the real deal, 'cause if it was
A nigga like the Miggity-Mac woulda took weeks, cuz
And I ain't with a stealing, the killing and getting a tag
I never, ever hope I come that close to a body bag
I'm glad we didn't get caught up and did the right thing
'Cause that life's a nightmare, a real bad dream
[Outro]
A real bad dream
A real bad dream
A real bad dream
Break 'em off somethin'
