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 would've 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 knowing 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
 praying hard for better days, promise to hold on
 me and my dogs 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 ish
 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

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
 nothing but peace love
 and street passion, every ghetto needs a thugs mansion

thugs mansion, oh, oh
 nothing but peace, love



sometimes i see the world for how messed up it really is
 tell myself i'll be the one to make a change in it
 i could die tonight, not make it to the sunrise
 then i couldn't heal the pain in it
 i'm getting high to forget about the lows though
 i get a paycheck spend it all on polo
 cause all the brands cover up my insecurities
 personally i ain't nothing but an average joe though
 and now i'm dressin' so expensive for no reason
 cold world we living in, it's below freezin'
 i got some family can't afford to cope
 so i leave a little paper there before i go
 i spend a thousand on a hotel, they poor and broke
 make me wonder who i'm praying to before the show
 this a letter to whoever, i'm just tryna set you free
 remember love and remember me

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
 nothing but peace love
 and street passion, every ghetto needs a thugs mansion

thugs mansion, oh, oh
 nothing but peace, love
 and street passion, every ghetto needs a thugs mansion
