05;t, tired of gettin shot at<br />Tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested<br />Niggaz need a spot where WE can kick it<br />A spot where WE belong, that's just for us<br />Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood<br />Y'knahmean? Where do niggaz go when we die?<br />Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga<br />That's why we go to thug mansion<br />That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G<br />... at thug mansion<br /><br /><em>[Verse One]<br />A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind<br />So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times<br />I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried<br />But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes<br />No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble<br />Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you<br />Picture me inside the misery of poverty<br />No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived<br />Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on<br />Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on<br />We found a family spot to kick it<br />Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit<br />A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's<br />We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace<br />And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast<br />I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion<br /><br /><em>[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]<br />Ain't no place I'd rather be<br />Chillin' with homies and family<br />Sky high, iced out paradise<br />In the skyyyyyyyyyy..<br />Ain't no place I'd rather be<br />Only place that's right for me<br />Chromed out mansion in paradise<br />In the skyyyyyyyyyy..<br /><br /><em>[Verse Two]<br />Will I survive all the fights and the darkness?<br />Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed<br />I shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good<br />for multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots<br />Nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us<br />They'd rather see us locked in chains, please explain<br />why they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change?<br />Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain?<br />I need a place to rest my head<br />with the little bit of homeboys that remains, cause all the rest dead<br />Is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it<br />I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go<br />How can I be peaceful? I'm comin from the bottom<br />Watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him<br />I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape<br />the deadly places slingin drugs, in thug's mansion<br /><br /><em>[Chorus w/ minor ad lib variations]<br /><br /><em>[Verse Three]<br />Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good<br />Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods<br />Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook<br />Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke<br />Then some lady named Billie Holiday<br />Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came<br />Little LaTasha sho' grown<br />Tell the lady in the liquorstore that she's forgiven, so come home<br />Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us<br />When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band<br />Just think of all the people that you knew in the past<br />that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last<br />Picture a place that they exist, together<br />There has to be a place better than this, in heaven<br />So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin<br />Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion<br /><br /><em>[Chorus - repeat 2X (w/ ad libs)]<br />
