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 easy
  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]
