2pac Featuring J Phoenix And Nas Thugz Mansion Lyrics

Thugz Mansion Lyrics

"Thugz Mansion (Nas Acoustic)"
(feat. J. Phoenix, Nas)

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: 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 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 busy
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: 2Pac]
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]
