Thugz Mansion Lyrics

Thugz Mansion lyrics

I want you to close your eyes

And vision the most beautiful place in the world

If you in the hood on the ghetto street corner

Come on this journey, the best journey

Some mansion, acres of land and swimming pools

And all that, check it out



I'm capable of anythin', my imagination can give me wings

To fly like doves over the streets watchin' many things

Kids walkin' home from school on drug blocks

Missionaries pass out papers that read, "Love God"

I see faces, cases, judges and jurors

Masons, lawyers and cops

I watch because every thug's face is my mirror

But this was one in particular



This kid, he was the vintage stick em up pro

16 years old, did his jail sentence, nowhere to go

Every mornin' calls his comrade

To come and get him to smoke

He's insane, already gone mad

Blames himself for his setbacks

Dangerous street corners where his sets at

Sling from dust to dawn



Detectives act like they maniacs

Chasin' him, his ass was flarin'

Smokin' like a chimney on Remy

Of course he's not carin'

He need a place to go

To keep his mind expandin'

I give him a helpin' hand

And, bring him out to Thugz Mansion



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, nothin' but peace, love

And street passion, every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion



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 store

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 all the people that you knew in the past

That passed on, they in heaven, found peace that 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 Thugz Mansion



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, nothin' but peace, love

And street passion, every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion



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 heavenly champagne

What angels saw, with golden wings in Thugz Mansion



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, nothin' but peace, love

And street passion, every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion
