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 just for us      Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood   Y'knahmean? Where do niggaz 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      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 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 dawgs 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 in fast   I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thugz mansion      Every corner, every city   There's a place where life's a little busy   Little Hennessey, 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)   Nothin' but peace love   (I wanna go)   (I wanna go nigga)   And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion      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'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 twenty-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   What angels saw, with golden wings in thugz mansion      Every corner, every city   There's a place where life's a little busy   Little Hennessey, 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   Nothin' but peace love   And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion      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   Drippin' peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cook      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 thugz mansion      Every corner, every city   There's a place where life's a little busy   Little Hennessey, 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   Nothin' but peace love   And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
