Thugz Mansion

Shit, tired of gettin shot at

Shit, tired of gettin shot at

Tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested

Tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested

Niggaz need a spot where WE can kick it

Niggaz need a spot where WE can kick it

A spot where WE belong, that's just for us

A spot where WE belong, that's just for us

Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood

Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood

Y'knahmean? Where do niggaz go when we die?

Y'knahmean? Where do niggaz go when we die?

Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga

Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga

That's why we go to thug mansion

That's why we go to thug mansion

That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G

That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G

... at thug mansion

... at thug mansion

[Verse One]

A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind

A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind

So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times

So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times

I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried

I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried

But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes

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

No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble

Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you

Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you

Picture me inside the misery of poverty

Picture me inside the misery of poverty

No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived

No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived

Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on

Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on

Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on

Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on

We found a family spot to kick it

We found a family spot to kick it

Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit

Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit

A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's

A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's

We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace

We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace

And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast

And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast

I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion

I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion





J. Phoenix + (Nas):

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]

Every corner, every city

Ain't no place I'd rather be

There's a place where life's a little busy

Children, dead homies and family

Little Hennessy, laid back and cool

Sky high, iced out paradise

Every hour, cause it's all good

In the skyyyyyyyyyy..

Leave all the stress from the world outside

Ain't no place I'd rather be

Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)

Only place that's right for me

Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)

Chromed out mansion in paradise

And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion

In the skyyyyyyyyyy..





Nas:

[Verse Two]

A place where death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide

Will I survive all the fights and the darkness?

Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by

Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed

No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets

I shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good

No reason, for nobody's momma to cry

for multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots

See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter

Nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us

But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her

They'd rather see us locked in chains, please explain

This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me

why they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change?

Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe

Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain?

Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin

I need a place to rest my head

I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother

with the little bit of homeboys that remains, cause all the rest dead

And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy

Is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it

I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur

I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go

Cause like Ann Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war

How can I be peaceful? I'm comin from the bottom

And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more

Watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him

Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne

I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape

What angels saw, with golden wings in thug's mansion

the deadly places slingin drugs, in thug's mansion





2Pac:

[Chorus] w/ minor ad lib variations

Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good



Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods

[Verse Three]

Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook

Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good

Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke

Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods

Then some lady named Billie Holiday

Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook

Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came

Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke

Little LaTasha sho' grown

Then some lady named Billie Holiday

Tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come home

Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came

Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us

Little LaTasha sho' grown

When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band

Tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come home

Just think of all the people that you knew in the past

Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us

that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last

When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band

Picture a place that they exist, together

Just think of all the people that you knew in the past

There has to be a place better than this, in heaven

that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last

So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin

Picture a place that they exist, together

Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion

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 thug's mansion



[Chorus] - repeat 2X (w/ ad libs)
