[Intro]
Ab Cm7 Bbm7 Cm7 Dbmaj7
Bbm7 Cm7 Gdim7
Ab I want you to close your eyes
Cm7And vision the most beautiful place in the world
Bbm7 Cm7 If Dbmaj7you in the hood on the ghetto street Bbm7corner Cm7 Gdim7
Come on this journey,Ab the best Cm7journey
Bbm7A manCm7sion,Dbmaj7 acres of land and Bbm7swimming pools and Cm7all that
Gdim7Check it out
[Verse 1]
I'm capable of Abanything, my imagination can give me wings
To Cm7fly like doves over the streets, watchin' many things
Bbm7Kids walkin' Cm7home from Dbmaj7school on drug blocks
MissionariesBbm7 pass Cm7out Gdim7papers that read "Love God"
I see Abfaces, cases, judges, and juries, Masons, lawyers and cops
Cm7 I watch 'cause every thug's face is my mirror
But this wasBbm7 one in parCm7ticuDbmaj7lar
This kid, he was the vintage stick 'em up Bbm7pro
SixCm7teen years Gdim7old, did his jail sentence, nowhere to Abgo
Every morning, calls his comrade to come and Cm7get him to smoke
He insane, already gone mad blames himBbm7self for his Cm7setbDbmaj7acks
Dangerous street corners where it Bbm7sets at
Cm7Slang from Gdim7dust to dawn, detectives act Ablike they maniacs
Chasin' him, his asthma's flarin'
Cm7Smokin' like a chimney, on Remy, of course he not carin'
Bbm7 He need a Cm7place to Dbmaj7go to keep his mind expandin'
I give Bbm7him a helping Cm7hand,Gdim7 bring him out to Thugz Mansion
[Chorus]
Every Abcorner, every city
There's a Cm7place where life's a little easy
Little HennesBbm7sy, Cm7laid backDbmaj7 and cool
Every hoBbm7ur, 'cause Cm7it's Gdim7all good
Leave all the stressAb from the world outside
Every wrongCm7 done will be alright
Bbm7Nothing but peace,Cm7 Dbmaj7 love, and street Bbm7passion Cm7
Gdim7Every ghetto needs a thug mansion
[Verse 2]
Dear AbMama, don't cry, your baby boy's doin' good
Tell the Cm7homies I'm in Heaven and they ain't got hoods
Seen a Bbm7show with Marvin Cm7Gaye lastDbmaj7 night, it had me shook
Drippin' Bbm7peppermint Schnapps,Cm7 with Gdim7Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke
Ab Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang
Cm7Sittin' there kickin' it with Malcolm 'til the day came
Bbm7 Little LaCm7Tasha Dbmaj7sho' grown
Tell the lady in the Bbm7liquor store that Cm7she's forGdim7given, so come home
AbMaybe in time you'll understand
Only God can save us,Cm7 when Miles Davis cuttin' lose with the band
Just Bbm7think of all the Cm7people Dbmaj7that you knew in the past
That passed Bbm7on, they in Cm7Heaven, Gdim7found peace at last
AbPicture a place that they exist, together
There Cm7has to be a place better than this, in Heaven
So Bbm7right before I Cm7sleep, Dbmaj7dear God, what I'm askin'
ReBbm7member this face,Cm7 save Gdim7me a place in Thugz Mansion
[Chorus]
Every Abcorner, every city
There's a Cm7place where life's a little easy
Little HennesBbm7sy, Cm7laid backDbmaj7 and cool
Every hoBbm7ur, 'cause Cm7it's Gdim7all good
Leave all the stressAb from the world outside
Every wrongCm7 done will be alright
Bbm7Nothing but peace,Cm7 Dbmaj7 love, and street Bbm7passion Cm7
Gdim7Every ghetto needs a thug mansion
[Verse 3]
A place Abwhere death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide
Cm7Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin' by
Bbm7No policemen,Cm7 no Dbmaj7homicide, no chalk on the Bbm7streets No reason Cm7
for Gdim7nobody's momma to cry
See, I'm a Abgood guy, I'm tryin' to stick around for my daughter
But if ICm7 should die, I know all of my albums support her
This whole Bbm7year's been crazy,Cm7 asked Dbmaj7the Holy Spirit to save me
Only Bbm7difference from me Cm7and OsGdim7sie Davis, gray hair maybe
'Cause I Abfeel like my eyes saw too much sufferin'
I'm just twenCm7tysomeodd years
I done lost my mother and I cried Bbm7tears of joy Cm7
I Dbmaj7know she smiles on her boy
I dream of Bbm7you more, my Cm7love goes Gdim7to Afeni Shakur
'Cause like AnnAb Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war
And just for Cm7that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more
'Cause one Bbm7day we'll all Cm7be toDbmaj7gether, sippin' heavenly chamBbm7pagne Where angels Cm7soar Gdim7
with golden wings in Thugz Mansion
[Chorus]
Every Abcorner, every city
There's a Cm7place where life's a little easy
Little HennesBbm7sy, Cm7laid backDbmaj7 and cool
Every hoBbm7ur, 'cause Cm7it's Gdim7all good
Leave all the stressAb from the world outside
Every wrongCm7 done will be alright
Bbm7Nothing but peace,Cm7 Dbmaj7 love, and street Bbm7passion Cm7
Gdim7Every ghetto needs a thug manAbsion
