Shit, tired of gettin shot at
Shit, tired of gettin shot at
Tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested
Tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested
Niggaz need a spot where WE can kick it
Niggaz need a spot where WE can kick it
A spot where WE belong, that's just for us
A spot where WE belong, that's just for us
Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood
Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood
Y'knahmean? Where do niggaz go when we die?
Y'knahmean? Where do niggaz go when we die?
Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga
Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga
That's why we go to thug mansion
That's why we go to thug mansion
That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G
That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G
... at thug mansion
... at thug mansion

[Verse One]
A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind
A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind
So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times
So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times
I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried
I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried
But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes
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
No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
Picture me inside the misery of poverty
Picture me inside the misery of poverty
No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived
No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived
Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on
Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on
Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on
Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on
We found a family spot to kick it
We found a family spot to kick it
Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit
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
A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's
We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace
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
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
I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion


J. Phoenix + (Nas):
[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
Every corner, every city
Ain't no place I'd rather be
There's a place where life's a little busy
Children, dead homies and family
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
Sky high, iced out paradise
Every hour, cause it's all good
In the skyyyyyyyyyy..
Leave all the stress from the world outside
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)
Only place that's right for me
Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)
Chromed out mansion in paradise
And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
In the skyyyyyyyyyy..


Nas:
[Verse Two]
A place where death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide
Will I survive all the fights and the darkness?
Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by
Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed
No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets
I shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good
No reason, for nobody's momma to cry
for multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots
See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter
Nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us
But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her
They'd rather see us locked in chains, please explain
This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me
why they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change?
Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe
Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain?
Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin
I need a place to rest my head
I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother
with the little bit of homeboys that remains, cause all the rest dead
And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy
Is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it
I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur
I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go
Cause like Ann Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war
How can I be peaceful? I'm comin from the bottom
And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more
Watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him
Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne
I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape
What angels saw, with golden wings in thug's mansion
the deadly places slingin drugs, in thug's mansion


2Pac:
[Chorus] w/ minor ad lib variations
Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good

Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods
[Verse Three]
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good
Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods
Then some lady named Billie Holiday
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came
Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
Little LaTasha sho' grown
Then some lady named Billie Holiday
Tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come home
Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came
Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
Little LaTasha sho' grown
When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band
Tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come home
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past
Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last
When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band
Picture a place that they exist, together
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past
There has to be a place better than this, in heaven
that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last
So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin
Picture a place that they exist, together
Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion
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] - repeat 2X (w/ ad libs)
