Tupac - Thugz Mansion Lyrics

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: Tupac]
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:
Tupac]
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]
