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>Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be hollywood<br>Y'knahmean? where do niggaz go when we die? <br>Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga<br>That's why we go to thug mansion<br>That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a g<br>... at thug mansion<br><br>[verse one: 2pac]<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>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>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>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 thug's mansion<br><br>[chorus: j. phoenix + (nas)]<br>Every corner, every city<br>There's a place where life's a little busy<br>Little hennessy, laid back and cool<br>Every hour, cause it's all good<br>Leave all the stress from the world outside<br>Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)<br>Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)<br>And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion<br><br>[verse two: nas]<br>A place where death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide<br>Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by<br>No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets<br>No reason, for nobody's momma to cry<br>See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter<br>But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her<br>This whole year's been crazy, asked the holy spirit to save me<br>Only difference from me and ossie davis, gray hair maybe<br>Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin<br>I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother<br>And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy<br>I dream of you more, my love goes to afeni shakur<br>Cause like ann jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war<br>And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more<br>Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne<br>What angels saw, with golden wings in thug's mansion<br><br>[chorus w/o nas]<br><br>[verse three: 2pac]<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>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 that she's forgiven, so come home<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>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 thug's mansion<br><br>[chorus]
