[Intro - 2Pac]
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 got to get all dressed up and be hollywood
You know what I mean?
Where do niggaz go when we gonna 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 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 would've tried but when I held that nine all I could see was my mama'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 Dayz, promised to hold on
My and my doggz ain't have a choice but to roll on
We found a final 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 know we Gz
We still vizualise places that we can roll in peace
And in my mind's eyes see this place that players go and past
And got a spot for us all, so we can ball at Thugz Mansion

[Chorus - J. Phoenix]
Every coner, every city
There's a place for us to live easy
Little hennessey, laid back and cool
Every hour cause it's all good
Leave all the stress from the world outside
Everyone thug will be alright
Nothing but peace, love and street passion
Every ghetto needs a thug mansion

[Verse 2 - Nas]
A place where death doesn't reside
Just thugs who collide, not a start beef but to spark trees
No cops rollin' by, no policemen 
No homicide, no chalk in the streets, no reason for nobody's mama 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 has been crazy, ask 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 20 some more years I done lost my mother
When 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 the 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' heavenly champagne
Where angels soar with golden rings in Thugz Mansion

[Chorus - J. Phoeni]
Every coner, every city
There's a place for us to live easy
Little hennessey, laid back and cool
Every hour cause it's all good
Leave all the stress from the world outside
Everyone thug will be alright
Nothing but peace, love and street passion
Every ghetto needs a thug mansion

[Verse 3 - 2Pac]
Dear mama 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, drinkin' peppermints schnapps with Jackie Willson and Sam Cook
Then some lady named Billy Holliday sang, sittin' there and kickin' it with Malcom till the day came
Little LaTasha sure grown, tell a lady in the liquor store that she has forgiven, so come home
Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
Where Mile Davis cuttin' loose with the band
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past that passed on 
They in heaven found peace that lasted
Picture a place that they excist, 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 Thugz Mansion

[Chorus - J. Phoeni]
Every coner, every city
There's a place for us to live easy
Little hennessey, laid back and cool
Every hour cause it's all good
Leave all the stress from the world outside
Everyone thug will be alright
Nothing but peace, love and street passion
Every ghetto needs a thug mansion
