Shit, tired of gettin' shot atTired of gettin' chased by the police and arrestedNiggas need a spot where we can kick itA spot where we belong, that's just for usNiggas ain't gotta get all dressed up and be HollywoodY'knahmean? Where do niggas go when we die?Ain't no heaven for a thug niggaThat's why we go to thug mansionThat's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a GAt thug mansionA place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwindSo 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 eyesNo one knows my struggle, they only see the troubleNot knowin' it's hard to carry on when no one loves youPicture me inside the misery of povertyNo man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survivedPrayin' hard for better days, promise to hold onMe and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll onWe found a family spot to kick itSongtexteWhere we can drink liquor store and no one bickers over trick shitA spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G'sWe still visualize places, that we can roll in peaceAnd in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fastI got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion[Chorus] Ain't no place I'd rather beChil'ren, dead homies and familySky high, iced out paradise, in the skyAin't no place I'd rather beOnly place that's right for meChromed out mansion in paradise, in the skyWill I survive all the fights and the darkness?Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departedI shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep goodFor multiple years, witness peers catch gunshotsNobody cares, seen the politicians ban usThey'd rather see us locked in chains, please explainWhy they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change?Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain?I need a place to rest my headWith the little bit of homeboys that remains, 'cause all the rest deadIs there a spot for us to roll, if you find itI'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll goHow can I be peaceful? I'm comin' from the bottomWatch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot himI need a house that's full of love when I need to escapeThe deadly places slingin' drugs, in thug's mansionAin't no place I'd rather beChil'ren, dead homies and familySky high, iced out paradise, in the skyAin't no place I'd rather beOnly place that's right for meChromed out mansion in paradise, in the skyDear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin' goodTell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoodsSeen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, It had me shook drippin' peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam CookeThen some lady named Billie Holiday sang sittin' there kickin' it with Malcolm, 'til the day cameLittle LaTasha sho' grown tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come homeMaybe in time you'll understand only God can save usWhen Miles Davis cuttin' lose with the bandJust think of all the people that you knew in the pastThat passed on, they in heaven, found peace at lastPicture a place that they exist, togetherThere has to be a place better than this, in heavenSo right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin'Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansionAin't no place I'd rather beChil'ren, dead homies and familySky high, iced out paradise, in the skyAin't no place I'd rather beOnly place that's right for meChromed out mansion in paradise, in the skyAin't no place I'd rather beChil'ren, dead homies and familySky high, iced out paradise, in the skyAin't no place I'd rather beOnly place that's right for meChromed out mansion in paradise, in the sky
