Shit, tired of gettin´ shot at
Tired of gettin´ chased by the police and arrested
Niggaz need a spot where WE can kick it
A spot where WE belong, that´s just for us

Niggaz ain´t gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood
Y´knahmean? Where do niggaz go when we die?
Ain´t no heaven for a thug nigga
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
[Verse One]
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 9, 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 dawgs 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 go in fast
I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug´s mansion
[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]

Ain´t no place I´d rather be
Children, dead homies and family
Sky high, iced out paradise
In the skyyyyyyyyyy..
Ain´t no place I´d rather be
Only place that´s right for me
Chromed out mansion in paradise
In the skyyyyyyyyyy..
[Verse Two]
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 remains, 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 comin´ 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 slingin´ drugs, in thug´s mansion
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
Dear momma don´t cry, your baby boy´s doin´ 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 sittin´ there kickin´ it with Malcolm, ´til the day came
Little LaTasha sho´ 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 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 thug´s mansion
[Chorus] - repeat 2X
