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 C
No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on 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
C
Tell the lady in the liquorstore 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
