Thugz Mansion Nas Acoustic Lyrics by Nas

Thugz Mansion Nas Acoustic Lyrics

    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]
