2Pac Feat. Anthony Hamilton - Thugz Mansion (7 Remix) lyrics

rate me

Shit, tired of gettin' shot at<br />

Tired of gettin' chased by the police and arrested<br />

Niggaz need a spot where we can kick it<br />

A spot where we belong, that's just for us<br />

<br />

Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood<br />

You know what I mean? Where do niggaz go when we die?<br />

Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga, that's why we go to thugz mansion<br />

That's the only place where thugz get in free and you gotta be a G<br />

At thugz mansion<br />

<br />

A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind<br />

So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times<br />

I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried<br />

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

<br />

No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble<br />

Not knowin' it's hard to carry on when no one loves you<br />

Picture me inside the misery of poverty<br />

No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived<br />

<br />

Prayin' hard for better days, promise to hold on<br />

Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on<br />

We found a family spot to kick it<br />

Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit<br />

<br />

A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's<br />

We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace<br />

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

I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thugz mansion<br />

<br />

Ain't no place I'd rather be<br />

Children, dead homies and family<br />

Sky high, iced out paradise<br />

In the sky<br />

<br />

Ain't no place I'd rather be<br />

Only place that's right for me<br />

Chromed out mansion in paradise<br />

In the sky<br />

<br />

Will I survive all the fights and the darkness?<br />

Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed<br />

I shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good<br />

For multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots<br />

<br />

Nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us<br />

They'd rather see us locked in chains, please explain<br />

Why they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change?<br />

Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain?<br />

<br />

I need a place to rest my head<br />

With the little bit of homeboys that remains, 'cause all the rest dead<br />

Is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it<br />

I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go<br />

<br />

How can I be peaceful? I'm comin' from the bottom<br />

Watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him<br />

I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape<br />

The deadly places slingin' drugs, in thugz mansion<br />

<br />

Ain't no place I'd rather be<br />

Children, dead homies and family<br />

Sky high, iced out paradise<br />

In the sky<br />

<br />

Ain't no place I'd rather be<br />

Only place that's right for me<br />

Chromed out mansion in paradise<br />

In the sky<br />

<br />

Dear Momma, don't cry, your baby boy's doin' good<br />

Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods<br />

Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook<br />

Drippin' peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke<br />

<br />

Then some lady named Billie Holiday<br />

Sang sittin' there kickin' it with Malcolm, 'til the day came<br />

Little LaTasha sho' grown<br />

Tell the lady in the liquor so that she's forgiven, so come home<br />

<br />

Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us<br />

When Miles Davis cuttin' lose with the band<br />

Just think of all the people that you knew in the past<br />

That passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last<br />

<br />

Picture a place that they exist, together<br />

There has to be a place better than this in heaven<br />

So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin'<br />

Remember this face, save me a place, in thugz mansion<br />

<br />

Ain't no place I'd rather be<br />

Children, dead homies and family<br />

Sky high, iced out paradise<br />

In the sky<br />

<br />

Ain't no place I'd rather be<br />

Only place that's right for me<br />

Chromed out mansion in paradise<br />

In the sky<br />

<br />

Thugz mansion<br />

<br />

Ain't no place I'd rather be<br />

Children, dead homies and family<br />

Sky high, iced out paradise<br />

In the sky<br />

<br />

Ain't no place I'd rather be<br />

Only place that's right for me<br />

Chromed out mansion in paradise<br />

In the sky
