Shit, tired being shot at
Tired being chased by
The police and arrested
Niggas need a spot
Where we can kick it
Spot were we belong
That's just for us
Niggas don't have to be
All dressed up and be Hollywood
Know what I mean
Log on to hide ad.
Where do niggas go when we die
'Cause there ain't no
Heaven for a thug nigga
'Cause we go to thugs mansion
That's the only place
You 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 would have tried
But when I held that nine
All I could see was my Mama's eyes
No one knows my struggle
They only see the trouble
Not knowing 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
Praying hard for better days
Promised 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 could roll in peace
And in my mind's eye
I see this place
The players go in fast
They got a spot for us all
So we can ball
At thug's mansion
[CHORUS]
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Children, dead homies and family
Sky high, iced out paradise
In the sky
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 she'd 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 remains
'Cause all the rest dead
Is there a spot for us to roll
If you find it
I'll be right behind you
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
The deadly places slinging drugs
In thug's mansion
[repeat CHORUS]
Dear mama, don't cry
Your baby boy's doing good
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
Dripping Peppermint Schnapps
With Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke
Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang
Sitting there, kicking it
With Malcolm till the day came
Little LaTasha sure grown
Tell the lady in the liquor store
That she's forgiven, so come home
Maybe in time you'll understand
Only God can save us
When Miles Davis cutting loose
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 asking
Remember this face
Save me a place in thugs mansion
[repeat CHORUS 2x]
