CAPO 1st Fret

Intro
G5    E5     A5    C5    


[Verse 1]
G5
A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind
E5
So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times
A5
I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried
C5
But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes
G5
No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
E5
Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
A5
Picture me inside the misery of poverty
C5
No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived
G5
Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on
E5
Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on
A5
We found a family spot to kick it
C5
Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit
G5
A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's
E5
We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace
A5
And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast
C5
I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion


[Chorus]
G5
Every corner, every city
E5
There's a place where life's a little easy
A5
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
C5
Every hour, cause it's all good
G5
Leave all the stress from the world outside
E5
Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)
A5
Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)
C5
And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion


[Verse 2]
G5
A place where death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide
E5
Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by
A5                                     C5
No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets

No reason, for nobody's momma to cry
G5
See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter
E5
But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her
A5
This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me
C5
Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe
G5
Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin
E5
I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother
A5
And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy
C5
I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur
G5
Cause like Ann Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war
E5
And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more
A5
Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne
C5
where angels soar, with golden wings in thug's mansion


[Chorus]
G5
Every corner, every city
E5
There's a place where life's a little easy
A5
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
C5
Every hour, cause it's all good
G5
Leave all the stress from the world outside
E5
Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)
A5
Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)
C5
And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion


[Verse 3]
G5
Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good
E5
Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods
A5
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
C5
Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
G5
Then some lady named Billie Holiday
E5
Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm , 'til the day came
A5
Little LaTasha sho' grown
                        C5
Tell the lady in the liquorstore that she's forgiven, so come home
G5
Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
E5
When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band
A5
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past
C5
that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last
G5
Picture a place that they exist, together
E5
There has to be a place better than this, in heaven
A5
So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin
C5
Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion
 

[Chorus]
G5
Every corner, every city
E5
There's a place where life's a little easy
A5
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
C5
Every hour, cause it's all good
G5
Leave all the stress from the world outside
E5
Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)
A5
Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)
C5
And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
