Thugz Mansion - Acoustic ft. J. Phoenix, Nas
(Intro)
Shit, tired of gettin shot at,
tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested.
Niggaz need a spot where WE can kick it,
a spot where WE belong, that's jus' for us.
Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood, Y'knowahimean?
Where do niggas go when we die?
Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga,
that's why we go to Thug Mansion.
That's the only place where thugs get in free,
and you gotta be a G... at Thug Mansion.
(Tupac)
A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind,
so much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times.
I once contemplated suicide, and woulda' tried,
but when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes.
No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble,
not knowing it's hard to carry on when no one loves you.
Picture me inside the misery of poverty,
No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived,
Prayin' hard for better days, promised to hold on,
Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on,
We finally found a spot to kick it,
where we could drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit,
a spot where we could smoke in peace,
and even tho' we G's we still visualize places,
that we can roll in peace,
and in my mind's eye, I see this place,
the playas goin past,
And got a spot for us all, so we can ball...
at Thugz Mansion
(Chorus)
Every corner, every city,
there's a place where life's a little easy,
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool,
every hour, 'cause it's all good.
Leave all the stress from the world outside,
Every wrong done will be allright,
Nothin but peace, love, street passion,
Every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion.
(NAS)
A place where death doesn't reside,
just thugs who collide,
not to start beef, but spark trees,
no cops rollin by, no policemen,
no homicide, no chalk on the streets,
no reason for nobody's momma to cry.
See, I'm a good guy,
I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter,
but if I should die, I know all of my albums support her,
This whole year has been crazy,
asked the Holy Spirit to save me,
only difference 'tween me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe,
'Cause I feel like my eye's saw too much sufferin',
I'm Just twenty-some odd years,
I done lost my mother,
and I cry tears of joy,
I know she smiles on her boy,
I dream of you more,
My love goes to Afeni Shakur,
'Cause like Anne Jones,
She raised a ghetto king in a war,
and just for that alone,
she shouldn't feel no pain no more,
'cause one day we'll all be together,
sippin heavenly champagne.
What Angels saw, with golden wings,
in Thugz Mansion.
(Chorus)
Every corner, every city,
there's a place where life's a little easy,
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool,
every hour, 'cause it's all good.
Leave all the stress from the world outside,
Every wrong done will be allright,
Nothin but peace, love, street passion,
Every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion.
(Tupac)
Dear momma don't cry,
your baby boy's doin good,
tell the homies I'm in heaven,
and they ain't got hoods,
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night,
It had me shook,
drinkin Peppermint Schnapps
with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cook,
then some lady named Billie Holiday,
sang sittin' there, kicking it with Malcom,
'till the day came,
Little LaTasha sure grown,
Tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven, so come home,
Maybe in time you'll understand that only God can save us,
When Miles Davis cuttin' loose with the band,
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past,
that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last,
Picture a place that they exist, together,
There has to be a place better than this, in heaven,
so right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin,
remember this face, save me a place, in Thugz Mansion.
(Chorus)
Every corner, every city,
there's a place where life's a little easy,
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool,
every hour, 'cause it's all good.
Leave all the stress from the world outside,
Every wrong done will be allright,
Nothin but peace, love, street passion,
Every ghetto needs a Thug Mansion.
