2 Pac - Thugz Mansion [Acoustic] lyrics

Album: Better Dayz, Disc 1 (2002)

Shit, tired of gettin shot at
Tired of gettin chased by the police & arrested
Niggaz need a spot where WE can kick it
A spot where WE belong, that is just for us
Niggaz aint have got to get all dressed up & be Hollywood
Ya know what i mean? Where do niggaz go when we die?
Aint no heaven for a thug nigga
That is why we go to thug mansion
That is the only place where thugs get in free & you´ve got to 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, & 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 is 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 & my dogs aint have a choice but to roll on
We finally found a spot to kick it
Where we can drink liquor & no one bickers over trick shit
A spot where we can smoke in peace, & 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
Theres a place where life is a little easy
Little Hennessy, laid back & cool
Every hour, cause it is all good
Leave all the stress from the world outside
Every wrong done´ll be alright (I want to go)
Nothin but peace (I want to go) love (I want to 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 am a good guy, I am tryin to stick around for my daughter
But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her
This whole yeahr´s been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me
Only difference from me & Ozzie Davis, gray hair maybe
Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin
I am just twenty-some-odd yeahrs, I done lost my mother
And I cry 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 will all be together, sippin heavenly champagne
Where angels soar, with golden wings in thug´z mansion

[Chorus w/o Nas]

[Verse Three: 2Pac]
Dear momma don´t cry, your baby boy´s doin good
Tell the homies I am in heaven & they aint got hoods
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
Drinking peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, & 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 has forgiven, so come home
Maybe in time you will 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 am askin
Remember this face, save me a place, in thug´s mansion

[Chorus]
