[Hook: J. Phoenix & (Nas)]
Every✦ corner,✦ every✦ city✦
There's✦ a place where life's✦ a little easy✦
Little Hennessy,✦ laid back and cool
Every✦ hour, ‘cause it's all good
Leave all the stress from the world outside✦
Every✦ wrong done will be alright✦ (I wanna✦ go)
Nothing✦ but peace, love
And street passion✦ (I wanna✦ go, nigga)✦
Every✦ ghetto✦ needs a thug mansion✦
[Verse 2: Nas]
A place where death doesn't reside,✦ just thugs who collide✦
Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin'✦ by
No policemen, no homicide,✦ no chalk on the streets
No reason✦ for nobody's mama✦ 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,✦ gray hair maybe
‘Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin'
I'm just 20-some-odd years, I done lost my mother✦ and I cried tears of joy
I know she smiles✦ on her boy
I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur✦
‘Cause, like Ann 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,✦ sippin'✦ heavenly champagne
Where angels soar with golden✦ wings, in thug's mansion✦

[Verse 3: 2Pac]
Dear mama,✦ don't cry, your baby✦ boy's doin' good
Tell the homies✦ I'm in Heaven✦ and they ain't got hoods
Seen a show with Marvin✦ Gaye last night, it had me shook
Drinkin' peppermint Schnapps with Jackie Wilson✦ and Sam Cooke
Then some lady✦ named✦ Billie Holiday sang
Sittin'✦ there kickin'✦ it with Malcolm 'til the day came
Little 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
When Miles✦ Davis✦ cuttin'✦ 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 askin'✦
Remember this face, save me a place in thug's mansion✦
