2Pac - Thugz Mansion |
Tupac: |
Shit, tired of getting shot at |
Tired of getting chased by the police and arrested |
Niggas need a spot where we can kick it |
A spot where we belong, that's just for us |
Niggas ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood |
You na'mean? |
Where do niggas go when we 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 |
Tupac: |
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 woulda 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 knowing it's hard to carry on when no one loves you |
Picture me inside the misery and poverty |
No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived |
Praying hard for better days, Promised to hold on |
Me and my dogs don't have a choice but to roll on |
We finally found a spot to kick it |
Where we could drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit |
A spot where we could smoke in peace |
And even though we Gs, |
We still visualize places that we could roll a piece |
And in my minds eye, I see this place the players go and pass it |
Got a spot for us all, So we can ball |
At Thug'z Mansion |
(Chorus) |
Every corner, every city |
There’s a place where life’s a little easy |
Little hennesy, laid back and cool |
Every hour, cuase it’s all good |
leave all stressed from the world outside |
Every wrong done will be allright |
Nothing but peace, love |
It’s street passion |
Every ghetto needs a thug mansion |
Nas: |
A place where death doesn’t reside |
Just thugz who collide |
Not to start beef |
Or spark trees |
No cops rollin by |
No policemen |
No homicide |
No talk on the streets |
No reason |
For no body’s momma to cry |
See I’m a good guy |
Im 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 |
Cuase I feel like my eyes saw to much sufferin |
Im just 20 some odd years I haven’t lost my mother |
And I cry tears of joy |
I know she smiles on a boy |
I dream of you more |
My luck goes to Afeni Shakur |
Cuase 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 champaigne |
With angels songs, with golden rings |
In Thugz Mansion |
Chorus |
Tupac: |
Dear mama don't cry, Your baby boy's doin' good |
Tell the homies 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 passed on |
They in heaven found peace at 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) |
2Pac - Changes |
{1} |
Come on come on |
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself |
Is life worth living should I blast myself? |
I'm tired of bein' poor even worse I'm black |
My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch |
Cops give a damn about a negro |
Pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero |
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares |
One less hungry mouth on the welfare |
First ship 'em dope let 'em deal the brothers |
Give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other |
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said |
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead |
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere |
Unless we share with each other |
We gotta start makin' changes |
Learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers |
And that's how it's supposed to be |
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me? |
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids |
But things changed, and that's the way it is |
{Bridge w/ changing ad libs} |
Come on come on |
That's just the way it is |
Things'll never be the same |
That's just the way it is |
Aww yeah |
{Repeat} |
{2} |
I see no changes all I see is racist faces |
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races |
We under I wonder what it takes to make this |
One better place, let's erase the wasted |
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right |
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight |
And only time we chill is when we kill each other |
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other |
And although it seems heaven sent |
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh |
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact |
The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks |
But some things will never change |
Try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game |
Now tell me what's a mother to do |
Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you |
You gotta operate the easy way |
I made a G today But you made it in a sleazy way |
Sellin' crack to the kid. I gotta get paid, |
Well hey, well that's the way it is |
{Bridge} |
{Talking:} |
We gotta make a change... |
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. |
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live |
And let's change the way we treat each other. |
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do |
What we gotta do, to survive. |
{3} |
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace |
It's war on the streets the war in the Middle East |
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs |
So the police can bother me |
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do |
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you |
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, |
Crack you up and pimp slap you up |
You gotta learn to hold ya own |
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone |
But tell the cops they can't touch this |
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this |
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool |
My mama didn't raise no fool |
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped |
And; I never get to lay back |
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs |
Some buck that I roughed up way back |
Comin' back after all these years |
Rat - a - tat - tat - tat - tat that's the way it is uhh |
{Bridge 'til fade} |
