(Intro)
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 jus' for us.
Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood, Y'knowahimean?
Where do niggas 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.

(Tupac)
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 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,
Prayin' hard for better days, promised to hold on,
Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on,
We finally found a spot to kick it,
where we could drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit,
a spot where we could smoke in peace,
and even tho' we G's we still visualize places,
that we can roll in peace,
and in my mind's eye, I see this place,
the playas goin past,
And got a spot for us all, so we can ball...
at Thugz Mansion

(Chorus)
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 allright,
Nothin but peace, love, street passion,
Every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion.

(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 has been crazy,
asked the Holy Spirit to save me,
only difference 'tween me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe,
'Cause I feel like my eye's saw too much sufferin',
I'm Just twenty-some odd years,
I done lost my mother,
and I cry tears of joy,
I know she smiles on her boy,
I dream of you more,
My love goes to Afeni Shakur,
'Cause like Anne 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 heavenly champagne.
What Angels saw, with golden wings,
in Thugz Mansion.

(Chorus)
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 allright,
Nothin but peace, love, street passion,
Every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion.

(Tupac)
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,
drinkin Peppermint Schnapps
with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cook,
then some lady named Billie Holiday,
sang sittin' there, kicking it with Malcom,
'till the day came,
Little LaTasha sure grown,
Tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven, so come home,
Maybe in time you'll understand that only God can save us,
When Miles Davis cuttin' loose 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 Thugz Mansion.

(Chorus)
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 allright,
Nothin but peace, love, street passion,
Every ghetto needs a Thug Mansion.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
