Nas Acoustic Lyrics

2 Pac

Shit, tired of gettin shot at<br />Tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested<br />Niggaz need a spot where WE can kick it<br />A spot where WE belong, that's just for us<br />Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood<br />Y'knahmean? Where do niggaz go when we die?<br />Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga<br />That's why we go to thug mansion<br />That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G<br />... at thug mansion<br /><br /><em>[Verse One: 2Pac]<br />A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind<br />So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times<br />I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried<br />But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes<br />No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble<br />Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you<br />Picture me inside the misery of poverty<br />No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived<br />Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on<br />Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on<br />We found a family spot to kick it<br />Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit<br />A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's<br />We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace<br />And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast<br />I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion<br /><br /><em>[Chorus: J. Phoenix + (Nas)]<br />Every corner, every city<br />There's a place where life's a little easy<br />Little Hennessy, laid back and cool<br />Every hour, cause it's all good<br />Leave all the stress from the world outside<br />Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)<br />Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)<br />And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion<br /><br /><em>[Verse Two: Nas]<br />A place where death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide<br />Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by<br />No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets<br />No reason, for nobody's momma to cry<br />See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter<br />But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her<br />This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me<br />Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe<br />Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin<br />I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother<br />And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy<br />I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur<br />Cause like Ann Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war<br />And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more<br />Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne<br />where angels soar, with golden wings in thug's mansion<br /><br /><em>[Chorus w/o Nas]<br /><br /><em>[Verse Three: 2Pac]<br />Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good<br />Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods<br />Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook<br />Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke<br />Then some lady named Billie Holiday<br />Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came<br />Little LaTasha sho' grown<br />Tell the lady in the liquorstore that she's forgiven, so come home<br />Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us<br />When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band<br />Just think of all the people that you knew in the past<br />that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last<br />Picture a place that they exist, together<br />There has to be a place better than this, in heaven<br />So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin<br />Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion<br /><br /><em>[Chorus]
