《Thugz Mansion (N.Y.)》歌词

[00:00:00] Thugz Mansion (N.Y.)(Explicit Version) - Nas

[00:00:14] I want you to close your eyes

[00:00:16] And vision the most beautiful place in the world

[00:00:19] If you in the hood on the ghetto street corner

[00:00:22] Come on this journey the best journey

[00:00:29] Some mansion acres of land and swimming pools

[00:00:32] And all that check it out

[00:00:34] I'm capable of anythin' my imagination can give me wings

[00:00:37] To fly like doves over the streets watchin' many things

[00:00:40] Kids walkin' home from school on drug blocks

[00:00:42] Missionaries pass out papers that read "Love God"

[00:00:45] I see faces cases judges and jurors

[00:00:47] Masons lawyers and cops

[00:00:48] I watch because every thug's face is my mirror

[00:00:50] But this was one in particular

[00:00:52] This kid he was the vintage stick em up pro

[00:00:54] 16 years old did his jail sentence nowhere to go

[00:00:57] Every mornin' calls his comrade

[00:00:58] To come and get him to smoke

[00:01:00] He's insane already gone mad

[00:01:01] Blames himself for his setbacks

[00:01:03] Dangerous street corners where his sets at

[00:01:05] Sling from dust to dawn

[00:01:06] Detectives act like they maniacs

[00:01:07] Chasin' him his ass was flarin'

[00:01:09] Smokin' like a chimney on Remy

[00:01:11] Of course he's not carin'

[00:01:12] He need a place to go

[00:01:14] To keep his mind expandin'

[00:01:15] I give him a helpin' hand

[00:01:17] And bring him out to Thugz Mansion

[00:01:18] Every corner every city there's a place where life's a little easy

[00:01:23] Little Hennessey laid back and cool every hour 'cause it's all good

[00:01:28] Leave all the stress from the world outside

[00:01:31] Every wrong done will be alright nothin' but peace love

[00:01:36] And street passion every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion

[00:01:40] Dear Momma don't cry your baby boy's doin good

[00:01:42] Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods

[00:01:45] Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night it had me shook

[00:01:48] Drippin peppermint schnapps with Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke

[00:01:50] Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang

[00:01:53] Sittin' there kickin' it with Malcolm 'til the day came

[00:01:56] Little Latasha sho' grown tell the lady in the liquor store

[00:01:59] That she's forgiven so come home

[00:02:01] Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us

[00:02:04] When Miles Davis' cuttin' lose with the band

[00:02:07] Just think all the people that you knew in the past

[00:02:09] That passed on they in heaven found peace that last

[00:02:12] Picture a place that they exist together

[00:02:15] There has to be a place better than this in heaven

[00:02:18] So right before I sleep dear God what I'm askin'

[00:02:20] Remember this face save me a place in Thugz Mansion

[00:02:24] Every corner every city there's a place where life's a little easy

[00:02:28] Little Hennessey laid back and cool every hour 'cause it's all good

[00:02:33] Leave all the stress from the world outside

[00:02:36] Every wrong done will be alright nothin' but peace love

[00:02:42] And street passion every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion

[00:02:45] A place where death doesn't reside just thugs who collide

[00:02:48] Not to start beef but spark trees no cops rollin' by

[00:02:51] No policemen no homicide no chalk on the streets

[00:02:54] No reason for nobody's momma to cry

[00:02:56] See I'm a good guy I'm tryin' to stick around for my daughter

[00:02:58] But if I should die I know all of my albums support her

[00:03:01] This whole year's been crazy asked the Holy Spirit to save me

[00:03:04] Only difference from me and Ossie Davis gray hair maybe

[00:03:06] 'Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin'

[00:03:09] I'm just twenty-some-odd years I done lost my mother

[00:03:12] And I cried tears of joy I know she smiles on her boy

[00:03:15] I dream of you more my love goes to Afeni Shakur

[00:03:17] 'Cause like Ann Jones she raised a ghetto king in a war

[00:03:20] And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more

[00:03:23] 'Cause one day we'll all be together sippin heavenly champagne

[00:03:26] What angels saw with golden wings in Thugz Mansion

[00:03:29] Every corner every city there's a place where life's a little easy

[00:03:34] Little Hennessey laid back and cool every hour 'cause it's all good

[00:03:39] Leave all the stress from the world outside

[00:03:42] Every wrong done will be alright nothin' but peace love

[00:03:47] And street passion every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion
