2Pac: [Verse One] A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes 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 No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you Picture me inside the misery of poverty Picture me inside the misery of poverty No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on We found a family spot to kick it We found a family spot to kick it Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit 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 A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace 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 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 I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion
J. Phoenix + (Nas): [Chorus: Anthony Hamilton] Every corner, every city Ain't no place I'd rather be There's a place where life's a little busy Children, dead homies and family Little Hennessy, laid back and cool Sky high, iced out paradise Every hour, cause it's all good In the skyyyyyyyyyy.. Leave all the stress from the world outside Ain't no place I'd rather be Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go) Only place that's right for me Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga) Chromed out mansion in paradise And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion In the skyyyyyyyyyy..
Nas: [Verse Two] A place where death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide Will I survive all the fights and the darkness? Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets I shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good No reason, for nobody's momma to cry for multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter Nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her They'd rather see us locked in chains, please explain This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me why they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change? Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain? Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin I need a place to rest my head I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother with the little bit of homeboys that remains, cause all the rest dead And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy Is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go Cause like Ann Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war How can I be peaceful? I'm comin from the bottom And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more Watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape What angels saw, with golden wings in thug's mansion the deadly places slingin drugs, in thug's mansion

Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods [Verse Three] Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods Then some lady named Billie Holiday Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke Little LaTasha sho' grown Then some lady named Billie Holiday Tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come home Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us Little LaTasha sho' grown When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band Tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come home Just think of all the people that you knew in the past Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band Picture a place that they exist, together Just think of all the people that you knew in the past There has to be a place better than this, in heaven that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin Picture a place that they exist, together Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion 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
