(feat. J. Phoenix, Nas)    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    [Verse One: 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 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 thug's mansion    [Chorus: 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)  Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)  And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion    [Verse Two: 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 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 heavnly champagne  What angels saw, with golden wings in thug's mansion    [Chorus w/o Nas]    [Verse Three: 2Pac]  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 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 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]
