[Intro: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
Shit, tired of gettin shot at
~#**************#~
Tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested
~#**************#~
Niggas need a spot where we can kick it
~#**************#~
A spot where we belong, thats just for us
~#**************#~
Niggas aint gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood
~#**************#~
Yknahmean? Where do niggas go when we die?
~#**************#~
Aint no heaven for a thug nigga
~#**************#~
Thats why we go to thug mansion
~#**************#~
Thats the only place where thugs get in free
~#**************#~
And you gotta be a G, at thug 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 wouldve tried, but when I held that 9
~#**************#~
All I could see was my mamas eyes
~#**************#~
No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
~#**************#~
Not knowin its 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 dogs aint 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 Gs
~#**************#~
We still visualize places that we can roll in peace
~#**************#~
And in my minds eye I see this place, the players go and pass it
~#**************#~
I got a spot for us all so we can ball at thugs mansion
~#**************#~
[Hook: J. Phoenix & (Nas)]
~#**************#~
Every corner, every city
~#**************#~
Theres a place where lifes a little easy
~#**************#~
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
~#**************#~
Every hour, ‘cause its all good
~#**************#~
Leave all the stress from the world outside
~#**************#~
Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)
~#**************#~
Nothing but peace, love
~#**************#~
And street passion (I wanna go, nigga)
~#**************#~
Every ghetto needs a thug mansion
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Nas]
~#**************#~
A place where death doesnt 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 nobodys mama to cry
~#**************#~
See, Im a good guy, Im tryin to stick around for my daughter
~#**************#~
But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her
~#**************#~
This whole years 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
~#**************#~
Im just 20-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 shouldnt feel no pain no more
~#**************#~
‘Cause one day well all be together, sippin heavenly champagne
~#**************#~
Where angels soar with golden wings, in thugs mansion
~#**************#~

[Verse 3: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
Dear mama, dont cry, your baby boys doin good
~#**************#~
Tell the homies Im in Heaven and they aint got hoods
~#**************#~
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
~#**************#~
Drinkin 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 sure grown
~#**************#~
Tell the lady in the liquor store that shes forgiven, so come home
~#**************#~
Maybe in time youll 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 Im askin
~#**************#~
Remember this face, save me a place in thugs mansion
~#**************#~
