Nas - Thugz Mansion (N.Y.) lyrics

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 [Verse 1] - 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 Pa** out papers that read 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 imparticular This kid he was the vintage stick em up 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 a** was 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 [Hook] 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 pa**ion Every ghetto needs a Thugs Mansion [Verse 2] - 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 game 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 pa**ed 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 [Hook] (Wanna go...wanna go) [Verse 3] - Nas A place where d**h doesn't reside, jus' thugz who collide Not to start beef but to 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, asked the Holy Spirit to save me Only difference from me and Ossie Davis grey hair maybe Cuz I feel like my eyes saw to much sufferin Im just 20 some odd years I done lost my mother And I cry tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy I dream of you more, my love 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 Where angels soar, with golden rings, in Thugz Mansion
