super otesi bi $arkıdır.rap sevmeyen biri bile en azından sozlerden oturu tu pac e saygı duyar.nasıl bir hayattan gelip (bkz: ghetto) nasıl bir hayat yaşamaya devam eden birinin hikayesidir bu şarkı.

nakaratları anthony hamilton'ın söylediği better dayz albümündeki versiyonunun sözleri şöyledir:

shit, tired of gettin shot at
tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested
niggaz need a spot where we can kick it
a spot where we belong, that's just for us
niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be hollywood
y'knahmean? where do niggaz 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

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 9, all i could see was my momma's eyes
no one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
picture me inside the misery of poverty
no man alive has ever witnessed struggles i survived
prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on
me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on
we found a family spot to kick it
where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit
a spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we g's
we still visualize places, that we can roll in peace
and in my mind's eye i see this place, the players go in fast
i got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion

ain't no place i'd rather be
chillin' with homies and family
sky high, iced out paradise
in the sky...
ain't no place i'd rather be
only place that's right for me
chromed out mansion in paradise
in the sky...

will i survive all the fights and the darkness?
trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed
i shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good
for multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots
nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us
they'd rather see us locked in chains, please explain
why they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change?
or am i just a victim of things i did to maintain?
i need a place to rest my head
with the little bit of homeboys that remains, cause all the rest dead
is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it
i'll be right behind ya, show me and i'll go
how can i be peaceful? i'm comin from the bottom
watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him
i need a house that's full of love when i need to escape
the deadly places slingin drugs, in thug's mansion

ain't no place i'd rather be
chillin' with homies and family
sky high, iced out paradise
in the sky...
ain't no place i'd rather be
only place that's right for me
chromed out mansion in paradise
in the sky...

dear momma 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
drippin 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 sho' grown
tell the lady in the liquorstore 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

nas in tupac in da feature ettigi bir sarkisi

"thugz mansion (nas acoustic)"
(feat. j. phoenix, nas)

shit, tired of gettin shot at
tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested
niggaz need a spot where we can kick it
a spot where we belong, that's just for us
niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be hollywood
y'knahmean? where do niggaz 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

[verse one: 2pac]
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 9, all i could see was my momma's eyes
no one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
picture me inside the misery of poverty
no man alive has ever witnessed struggles i survived
prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on

we still visualize places, that we can roll in peace
and in my mind's eye i see this place, the players go in fast
i got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion

[chorus: j. phoenix + (nas)]
every corner, every city
there's a place where life's a little busy
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)
nothin but peace (i wanna go) love (i wanna go nigga)
and street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion

[verse two: 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 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, gray hair maybe
cause i feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin
i'm just twenty-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 heavnly champagne
what angels saw, with golden wings in thug's mansion

[chorus w/o nas]

[verse three: 2pac]
dear momma 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
drippin peppermint schnapps, with jackie wilson, and sam cooke

sang sittin there kickin it with malcolm, 'til the day came
little latasha sho' grown

maybe in time you'll understand only god can save us
when miles davis cuttin lose with the band

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
