CAPO 1st Fret
[INTRO]
[G] [Em] [Am] [C]
[VERSE 1]
[G]A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind
[Em]So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times
[Am]I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried
[C]But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes
[G]No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
[Em]Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
[Am]Picture me inside the misery of poverty
[C]No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived
[G]Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on
[Em]Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on
[Am]We found a family spot to kick it
[C]Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit
[G]A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's
[Em]We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace
[Am]And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast
[C]I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion
[CHORUS]
[G]Every corner, every city
[Em]There's a place where life's a little easy
[Am]Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
[C]Every hour, cause it's all good
[G]Leave all the stress from the world outside
[Em]Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)
[Am]Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)
[C]And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
[VERSE 2]
[G]A place where death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide
[Em]Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by
[Am]No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on [C]the streets
No reason, for nobody's momma to cry
[G]See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter
[Em]But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her
[Am]This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me
[C]Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe
[G]Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin
[Em]I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother
[Am]And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy
[C]I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur
[G]Cause like Ann Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war
[Em]And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more
[Am]Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne
[C]where angels soar, with golden wings in thug's mansion
[CHORUS]
[G]Every corner, every city
[Em]There's a place where life's a little easy
[Am]Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
[C]Every hour, cause it's all good
[G]Leave all the stress from the world outside
[Em]Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)
[Am]Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)
[C]And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
[VERSE 3]
[G]Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good
[Em]Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods
[Am]Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
[C]Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
[G]Then some lady named Billie Holiday
[Em]Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came
[Am]Little LaTasha sho' grown
Tell the lady in the liq[C]uorstore that she's forgiven, so come home
[G]Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
[Em]When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band
[Am]Just think of all the people that you knew in the past
[C]that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last
[G]Picture a place that they exist, together
[Em]There has to be a place better than this, in heaven
[Am]So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin
[C]Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion
[CHORUS]
[G]Every corner, every city
[Em]There's a place where life's a little easy
[Am]Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
[C]Every hour, cause it's all good
[G]Leave all the stress from the world outside
[Em]Every wrong done will be alright (I wanna go)
[Am]Nothin but peace (I wanna go) love (I wanna go nigga)
[C]And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
