Full of the white like it's Iggy (white, white)
Five milli in cash, a wide load, and we 'bout to get it
We from the north, I'm just sayin' tho

Soon as you close your eyes, nigga, we right there
Freddy Kruger, give 'em a nightmare
Soon as you close your eyes, nigga, we right there

Soon as you close your eyes, nigga, we right there
Come in the middle of the night, like it's a nightmare
You open your eyes, not dreamin', nigga, we right there

Open your eyes, real life, ain't no facade (ain't not facade)
You tryna rob, get penalized, they taking your life
Run up a bag, a milli in cash, then cover your body in gems (bag)
Fucking a thot, but I don't go for the plot so I'm fucking this bitch on film (smash)
Coming tonight, you won't see 'em (woo)
Black gloves, black hoodie, and Timbs (woo)
You don't wanna be him 'cause soon as they see him they shoot off his limbs (pew pew)
I know I might sound animated (who)
A hunnid racks have a nigga waiting (racks)
You got a Rolex, it outdated (who)
I got your hoe outside, be patient (yeah)
Back in the Maybach, this ain't a 'Rari, this is the latest Mercedes
Spent two-hundred thousand on my whole rider
Five-hundred K just to play
Open your eyes, your whole face (open that)
I got the Mac today (mac)
Pull up, get whacked today (wack)
Pull up and catch some waves (scurr scurr)

Freddy Kruger, give 'em a nightmare
Soon as you close your eyes, nigga, we right there
Freddy Kruger, give 'em a nightmare
Soon as you close your eyes, nigga, we right there
Freddy Kruger, give 'em a nightmare
Soon as you close your eyes, nigga, we right there
Come in the middle of the night, like it's a nightmare
You open your eyes, not dreamin', nigga, we right there

Overall Meaning

In “Nightmare” by Offset and Metro Boomin, the rappers boast about their wealth and success while also flexing their power and willingness to use violence to protect their interests. The song features a repeating chorus that references horror icon Freddy Krueger, suggesting that the rappers are like nightmares that can strike at any moment.


The song begins with a series of lines about getting money quickly and efficiently, with the repeated refrain “On demand, bags on demand” emphasizing the desire for instant gratification. Offset then launches into a verse that mentions his expensive tastes in cars and jewelry, as well as his willingness to engage in violent acts to protect his wealth. The line “If Young Metro don't trust you I'm 'gon shoot you” is a reference to the producer Metro Boomin, and suggests that the rappers have a close bond that they will defend at all costs.


The chorus, which repeats three times throughout the song, is the most memorable part of “Nightmare.” The idea of being like Freddy Krueger, a monstrous figure who haunts people’s dreams, reinforces the idea that Offset and Metro Boomin are powerful and terrifying, and that their enemies should be afraid.

Money on demand, getting bags of cash whenever they want it.

Asking for cash immediately, comparing the process to buying a lottery ticket. Getting cash at a location, comparing it to having a lot of cocaine. They have five million dollars and are about to get more. Repping their hometown, reminiscing on someone who was once close to them.

Real life is not fake, and if you try to steal from them, you will die. They can make a lot of money quickly, and will use it to buy expensive jewelry. They are having sex with a girl just for fun, and she is being recorded. They will come in the middle of the night, dressed in black, and kill their target quickly. They have a lot of money and are waiting for someone to come and rob them. They have a lot of expensive items and don't want to associate with those who don't. They have someone waiting outside for them. They are driving in a Maybach and spent a lot of money on their team. They will spend a lot of money just to have fun. They want you to be alert and will use a gun today. They will also catch some waves (possibly a metaphor).


Freddy Kruger, give 'em a nightmare Soon as you close your eyes, nigga, we right there Freddy Kruger, give 'em a nightmare Soon as you close your eyes, nigga, we right there Freddy Kruger, give 'em a nightmare Soon as you close your eyes, nigga, we right there Come in the middle of the night, like it's a nightmare You open your eyes, not dreamin', nigga, we right there
They will appear like Freddy Kruger and give their target a nightmare. Even when their target blinks or closes their eyes, they will still be there. They will come at night like a nightmare, and their target will be unable to escape them.


Metro Boomin want some, nigga
Metro Boomin wants to collaborate with them.
