Lyrics

Shit, tired of gettin' shot at
Tired of gettin' chased by the police and arrested
**** need a spot where we can kick it
A spot where we belong that's just for us
**** ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood
Nah mean? Where do **** go when we die?
Ain't no heaven for a thug ****
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
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 nine, all I could see was my momma's eyes
No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
Not knowin 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, promise to hold on
Me and my dogs ain't have a choice but to roll on
We found a family spot to kick it
Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit
A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's
We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace
And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players goin' fast
I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at Thugz Mansion
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Chillin' with homies and family
Sky high, iced-out paradise
In the sky (Thugz Mansion)
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Only place that's right for me
Chromed out mansion in paradise
In the sky
Will I survive all the fights and the darkness?
Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed
I shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good
For multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots
Nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us
They'd rather see us locked in chains, please explain
Why 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 head
With the little bit of homeboys that remain, 'cause all the rest dead
Is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it
I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go
How can I be peaceful? I'm coming from the bottom
Watch my daddy scream, "Peace," while the other man shot him
I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape (I need)
The deadly places slingin' drugs, in Thugz Mansion
Ain't no place I'd rather be (Ain't no place)
Chillin' with homies and family (Oh, oh)
Sky high, iced-out paradise
In the sky (I need a place for me)
Ain't no place I'd rather be (Whoa-oh, oh)
Only place that's right for me
Chromed out mansion in paradise
In the sky
Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin' good (Don't cry)
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
Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang
Sittin' there kickin it with Malcolm, till the day came
Little Latasha sho' grown
Tell the lady in the liquorstore that she's forgiven, so come home
Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
When Miles Davis cuttin' lose 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
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Chillin' with homies and family (All my friends)
Sky high, iced-out paradise
In the sky (Thugz Mansion)
Ain't no place I'd rather be (But ain't no place)
Only place that's right for me
Chromed out mansion in paradise
In the sky (Thugz Mansion)
Ain't no place I'd rather be (There ain't no place)
Chillin' with homies and family (Oh)
Sky high, iced-out paradise
In the sky (Ain't no place for me)
Ain't no place I'd rather be (All my people)
Only place that's right for me (Only place that's right for me, yeah)
Chromed out mansion in paradise
In the sky (Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, yeah)
