Thugz Mansion (N.Y.)

Thugz Mansion (N.Y.) (Original Version)

I want you to close ur eyes, n' invision
The most beautiful place in tha world,
If you in the hood, the ghetto street corner,
Come on this journey, the best journey, its a mansion
Acres of land, swimmin pools and all that, check it out

Nas:
I'm capable of anything, my imagination could give me wings,
To fly like doves over the streets watchin' many things,
Kids walkin home from school, on drug blocks, missionaries
Pass out papers that we love god.
I see faces cases, judges n jurors, masons lawyers n cops,
I watch cuz every thugs face is my mirror, but this was one in particular
This kid he was the vitcha? stick a ma pro, 16 years old did his jail since
There was no where to go.
Every mornin' calls his commrad to come n get em'
A smoke, he insane already gone mad, blames himself for his setbacks,
Dangerous street corners where his sets at, sling from dusk till dawn,
Detectives act like they maniacs, chasin him, his asthma's flarin, smokin'
Like a chimney on remy of course he not carin, he needs a place to go,
To keep his mind expandin, I give em a helpin hand
Bring em out to Thugz Mansion.

Chorus:
Every corner, every city theres a place where lifes a lil easy,
Lil hennesey, lay back and cool, every hour cuz its all good.
Leave all the stress from the world outside, every wrong done
Will be alright, nothin' but peace, love n street passion,
Every ghetto needs a Thugs Mansion

2Pac:
Dear mama don't cry, your baby boy's doin' good
Tell the hommies I'm in heaven and it ain't got hoods
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night
It had me shook drinking
Peppermint schnapps with Jackie Wilson and Sam Cook
Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang
Sittin there kickin it with Malcolm till the day came
Lil' Latasha sure grown, tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven
So come home
Maybe in time you'll understand, only God can save us
Where Miles Davis cutting lose with the band
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past that passed on
They in heaven found peace that 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 asking
Remember this face, save me a place
In Thugz Mansion.

Chorus
(Wanna go...wanna go)

Nas:
A place where death doesn't reside, jus' thugz who collide
Not to start beef or spark trees
No cops rollin by, no policemen no homicide
No chalk on the streets, no reason
For no body'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
Ask the Holy Spirit to save me
Only difference from me and nosy Davis grey hair maybe
Cuz I feel like my eyes saw to much suffering
I'm just 20 some odd years I haven't lost my mother
And I cry tears of joy
I know she smiles on her boy
I dream of you more
My luck goes to Afeni Shakur
Cause like Anne 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
Sipping heavenly champagne
With angels songs, with golden rings
In Thugz Mansion.

Chorus
