[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] |
