| [Intro: 2Pac] Shit, tired of gettin' shot at Tired of gettin' chased by the police and arrested Niggas need a spot where we can kick it A spot where we belong, that's just for us Niggas ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood Y'knahmean? 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 [Verse 1: 2Pac] 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 would've tried, but when I held that 9 All I could see was my mama's eyes No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble Not knowin' 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, promise to hold on Me and my dogs ain't have a choice but to roll on We found a family spot to kick it 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 We still visualize places that we can roll in peace And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go and pass it I got a spot for us all so we can ball at thug's mansion [Hook: J. Phoenix & (Nas)] 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 alright (I wanna go) Nothing but peace, love And street passion (I wanna go, nigga) Every ghetto needs a thug mansion [Verse 2: 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 mama 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's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe ‘Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin' I'm just 20-some-odd years, I done lost my mother and I cried tears of joy I know she smiles on her boy I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur ‘Cause, like Ann 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 Where angels soar with golden wings, in thug's mansion [Hook: J. Phoenix & (2Pac)] 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 (at thugs's mansion) Leave all the stress from the world outside Every wrong done will be alright Nothing but peace, love and street passion Every ghetto needs a thug mansion [Verse 3: 2Pac] Dear mama, 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 Cooke Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang Sittin' there kickin' it with Malcolm 'til 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 only God can save us When Miles Davis cuttin' lose 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 thug's mansion [Hook: J. Phoenix & (2Pac)] Every corner, every city There's a place where life's a little easy (At thugs's mansion) 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 alright Nothing but peace, love and street passion Every ghetto needs a thug mansion |

Trouble sparks, they tell me: "Home is where the heart is." Dear departed, I shed tattooed tears And couldn't sleep good for multiple years Witness peers catch gunshots; nobody cares Seen the politicians ban us, they'd rather see us locked in chains Please explain why they can't stand us Is there a way for me to change? Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain? I need a place to rest my head With the little bit of homeboys that remains ‘Cause all the rest dead; is there a spot for us to grow? If you find it, I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go How can I be peaceful? I'm comin' from the bottom Watch my daddy scream "Peace!" while the other man shot him I need a house that's full of love, when I need to escape The deadly places slingin' drugs, in thug's mansion [Chorus: Anthony Hamilton] Ain't no place I'd rather be Chillin' with homies and family Sky high, iced out, paradise in the sky Ain't no place I'd rather be Only place that's right for me Chromed-out, mansion in paradise, in the sky [Verse 3: 2Pac] Dear Mama, 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 Cooke Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang Sittin' there kickin' it with Malcolm 'til the day came Little Latasha sho' grown Tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven, so come home Maybe in time you'll understand Only God can save us, when Miles Davis cuttin' lose 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 thug's mansion [Chorus: Anthony Hamilton & (2Pac)] Ain't no place I'd rather be Chillin' with homies and family Sky high, iced out, paradise in the sky (In thugs mansion) Ain't no place I'd rather be Only place that's right for me Chromed-out, mansion in paradise, in the sky (Thugs mansion) Ain't no place I'd rather be Chillin' with homies and family Sky high, iced out, paradise, in the sky (In thugs mansion) Ain't no place I'd rather be Only place that's right for me Chromed-out, mansion in paradise, in the sky |
