[00:08.94]Shit, tired of getting shot at
[00:10.84]Tired of getting chased by the police and arrested
[00:13.49]Niggas need a spot where we can kick it
[00:15.68]A spot where we belong, that's just for us
[00:18.14]Niggas ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood
[00:20.48]You knah'mean?
[00:21.67]Where do niggas go when we die?
[00:23.47]Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga, that's why we go to Thug Mansion
[00:27.79]That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G
[00:32.09]At Thug Mansion
[00:33.78]A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind
[00:36.80]So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times
[00:39.56]I once contemplated suicide and would of tried
[00:42.27]But when I held that 9, all I could see was my moma's eyes
[00:45.56]No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
[00:48.06]Not knowing it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
[00:51.10]Picture me inside the misery of poverty
[00:53.48]No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived
[00:56.45]Praying hard for 'Better Dayz', promise to hold on
[00:59.01]Me and my dogs ain't have a choice but to roll on
[01:01.84]We finally found a spot to kick it
[01:03.66]Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit
[01:06.77]A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's
[01:09.64]We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace
[01:12.34]And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast
[01:15.00]I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at 'Thugz Mansion'
[01:17.89]Every corner, every city
[01:20.30]There's a place where life's a little easy
[01:22.79]Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
[01:25.45]Every hour, cause it's all good
[01:28.10]Leave all the stress from the world outside
[01:30.98]Every wrong done will be alright
[01:34.14]Nothin but peace love
[01:36.54]And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
[01:39.69]Will I survive all the fights and the darkness?
[01:41.87]Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed
[01:45.41]I shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good
[01:48.11]for multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots
[01:50.88]Nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us
[01:53.38]They'd rather see us locked in chains, please explain
[01:56.09]why they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change?
[01:58.63]Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain?
[02:01.77]I need a place to rest my head
[02:03.52]with the little bit of homeboys that remains, cause all the rest dead
[02:07.33]Is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it
[02:09.72]I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go
[02:12.38]How can I be peaceful? I'm comin from the bottom
[02:14.97]Watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him
[02:17.96]I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape
[02:20.99]the deadly places slingin drugs, in thug's mansion
[02:23.34]Every corner, every city
[02:25.82]There's a place where life's a little easy
[02:28.27]Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
[02:30.88]Every hour, cause it's all good
[02:33.67]Leave all the stress from the world outside
[02:36.38]Every wrong done will be alright
[02:39.64]Nothin but peace love
[02:41.96]And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
[02:44.78]Dear Mama don't cry, your baby boy's doing good
[02:47.72]Tell the homies I'm in Heaven and they ain't got hoods
[02:50.48]Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
[02:53.28]Drinking peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
[02:56.33]Then some lady named Billie Holiday
[02:58.50]Sang sitting there kicking it with Malcolm, 'til the day came
[03:01.80]Little LaTasha sure grown
[03:03.48]Tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come home
[03:06.90]Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
[03:10.06]When Miles Davis cutting loose with the band
[03:12.24]Just think of all the people that you knew in the past
[03:14.86]that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last
[03:17.72]Picture a place that they exist, together
[03:20.62]There has to be a place better than this, in Heaven
[03:23.25]So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm asking
[03:25.98]Remember this face, save me a place, in 'Thugz Mansion'
[03:28.73]Every corner, every city
[03:31.18]There's a place where life's a little easy
[03:33.65]Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
[03:36.35]Every hour, cause it's all good
[03:39.08]Leave all the stress from the world outside
[03:41.83]Every wrong done will be alright
[03:45.01]Nothin but peace love
[03:47.39]And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
[03:53.52]
