[00:53.74] Sixteen years old did his jail since there was no where to go

[00:56.75] Every mornin' calls his commrad to come n get em' a smoke

[00:59.01] He insane already gone mad, blames himself for his setbacks

[01:02.77] Dangerous street corners where his sets at

[01:05.02] Sling from dusk till dawn, detectives act like they maniacs

[01:08.03] Chasin' him, his ass was flarin

[01:09.78] Smokin' like a chimney on remy of course he not carin'

[01:12.79] He needs a place to go to keep his mind expandin

[01:37.85] Every ghetto needs a Thugs Mansion

[01:39.35] Dear mama don't cry, your baby boy's doin' good

[01:44.88] Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night

[01:50.89] Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang

[01:53.40] Sittin' there kickin' it with Malcolm till the day game

[01:56.15] Lil' Latasha sure grown, tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven

[02:00.91] So come home

[02:06.68] Just think of all the people that you knew in the past that passed on

[02:09.94] They in heaven found peace that last

[02:12.45] Picture a place that they exist, together

[02:14.95] There has to be a place better than this, in Heaven

[02:17.96] So right before I sleep dear God what I'm asking

[02:43.27] Every ghetto needs a Thugs Mansion

[02:45.02] A place where death doesn't reside, jus' thugz who collide

[02:47.78] Not to start beef but to spark trees, no cops rollin' by

[02:50.54] No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets

[02:53.54] No reason for nobody's momma to cry

[02:55.55] See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin' to stick around for my daughter

[02:58.56] But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her

[03:01.31] This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me

[03:03.82] Only difference from me and Ossie Davis grey hair maybe

[03:07.33] 'Cause I feel like my eyes saw to much sufferin'

[03:09.33] I'm just twenty some odd years I done lost my mother

[03:11.84] And I cry tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy

[03:14.84] I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur

[03:17.60] 'Cause like Anne Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war

[03:20.36] And just for that alone, she shouldn't feel no pain no more

[03:23.11] 'Cause one day we'll all be together, sipping heavenly champagne

[03:26.37] With angels songs, with golden rings, in Thugz Mansion
