Thugz Mansion (Acoustic) Lyrics

[Tupac]

Shit, tired of getting shot at

Tired of getting chased by the police and arrested

Niggas need a spot where we can kick it

A spot where we belong, that's just for us

Niggas ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood

You na'mean?

Where do niggas 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

[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 nine all I could see was my mama's eyes

No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble

Not knowing 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

Praying hard for better days, Promised to hold on

Me and my dogs ain't got a choice but to roll on

We finally found a spot to kick it

Where we could drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit

A spot where we could smoke in peace

And even though we Gs, 

We still visualize places that we could roll a piece

And in my minds eye, I see this place the players go and pass it

Got a spot for us all, So we can ball

At Thug'z Mansion

[J. Phoenix]

Every corner, every city

There’s a place where life’s a little easy

Little hennesy, laid back and cool

Every hour, cause it’s all good

Leave all the stress from the world outside

Every wrong done will be all right

Nothing but peace, love and street passion

Every ghetto needs a thug mansion

[Nas]

A place where death doesn’t reside

Just thugz who collide

Not to start beef

Or spark trees

No cops rollin’ by

No policemen

No homicide

No chalk on the streets

No reason

For no body’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

Ask the Holy Spirit to save me

Only difference from me and nosy Davis grey hair maybe 

Cause I feel like my eyes saw to much sufferin’

Im just 20 some odd years and I done lost my mother

And I cry tears of joy

I know she smiles on a boy

I dream of you more

My love goes to Afeni Shakur

Cause like Anne 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

Sipping heavenly champagne

With angels songs, with golden rings

In Thugz Mansion

[J. Phoenix]

Every corner, every city

There’s a place where life’s a little easy

Little hennesy, laid back and cool

Every hour, cause it’s all good

Leave all the stress from the world outside

Every wrong done will be all right

Nothing but peace, love and street passion

Every ghetto needs a thug mansion

[Tupac]

Dear mama don't cry, Your baby boy's doin' good

Tell the homies I'm in heaven and it ain't got hoods

Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night

It had me shook 

Drinking peppermint schnapps with Jackie Wilson and Sam Cook

Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang

Sittin there kickin it with Malcolm till the day game

Lil' Latasha sure 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

Where Miles Davis cutting 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 asking

Remember this face, save me a place

In Thugz Mansion

[J. Phoenix]

Every corner, every city

There’s a place where life’s a little easy

Little hennesy, laid back and cool

Every hour, cause it’s all good

Leave all the stress from the world outside

Every wrong done will be all right

Nothing but peace, love and street passion

Every ghetto needs a thug mansion
