2Pac (Tupac Shakur) - Thugz Mansion-Nas Acoustic Lyrics

[Tupac Talking]



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 Thugs Mansion



[Verse 1 - 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 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 and poverty

No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I've survived

Praying hard for better days

Promised to hold on

Me and my dogs don't have 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 Thugs Mansion



[Chorus]



Every corner, every city

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

Little Hennessey, 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

Nothing but peace, love and street passion

Every ghetto needs a thug mansion



[Verse 2 - Nas]



A place where death doesn't reside

Just thugs who collide

Not to start beef

But spark trees

No cops rolling by

No policemen

No homicide

No chalk on the streets

No reason, for nobody's mama to cry

See I'm a good guy

I'm trying 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 Jose Davis is gray hair maybe

'Cause I feel that my eyes saw too much suffering

I'm just twenty some odd years and I already 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

Sipping heavenly champagne where angels soar with golden rings

At thugs mansion



[Chorus]



Every corner, every city

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

Little Hennessey, 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

Nothing but peace, love and street passion

Every ghetto needs a thug mansion



[Verse 3 - 2Pac]



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 came

Lil' Latasha sure grown

Tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven

So come home

Maybe in time you 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



[Chorus]
