[00:00.52]
[00:02.90]****, tired of gettin shot at
[00:03.52]Tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested
[00:04.74]****** need a spot where WE can kick it
[00:06.78]A spot where WE belong, that's just for us
[00:09.06]****** ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood
[00:11.40]Y'knahmean? Where do ****** go when we die?
[00:14.33]Ain't no heaven for a thug *****
[00:16.56]That's why we go to thug mansion
[00:18.69]That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G
[00:22.16]... at thug mansion
[00:24.13]
[00:24.68](Verse One)
[00:25.39]A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind
[00:28.04]So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times
[00:30.69]I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried
[00:33.50]But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes
[00:36.17]No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
[00:39.12]Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
[00:41.85]Picture me inside the misery of poverty
[00:44.48]No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived
[00:47.15]Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on
[00:49.90]Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on
[00:52.71]We found a family spot to kick it
[00:54.66]Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick ****
[00:57.61]A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's
[01:00.55]We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace
[01:03.28]And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast
[01:05.97]I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion
[01:09.03]
[01:09.45](Chorus: Anthony Hamilton)
[01:09.91]Ain't no place I'd rather be
[01:11.20]Children, dead homies and family
[01:13.97]Sky high, iced out paradise
[01:16.63]In the skyyyyyyyyyy..
[01:19.62]Ain't no place I'd rather be
[01:22.07]Only place that's right for me
[01:25.22]Chromed out mansion in paradise
[01:27.44]In the skyyyyyyyyyy..
[01:29.63]
[01:30.13](Verse Two)
[01:30.76]Will I survive all the fights and the darkness?
[01:32.98]Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed
[01:36.37]I shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good
[01:39.13]for multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots
[01:41.66]Nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us
[01:44.33]They'd rather see us locked in chains, please explain
[01:47.09]why they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change?
[01:49.55]Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain?
[01:52.31]I need a place to rest my head
[01:54.65]with the little bit of homeboys that remains, cause all the rest dead
[01:58.22]Is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it
[02:00.83]I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go
[02:03.45]How can I be peaceful? I'm comin from the bottom
[02:06.16]Watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him
[02:08.92]I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape
[02:11.62]the deadly places slingin drugs, in thug's mansion
[02:14.14]
[02:14.67](Chorus: Anthony Hamilton)
[02:15.15]Ain't no place I'd rather be
[02:16.98]Children, dead homies and family
[02:19.27]Sky high, iced out paradise
[02:21.88]In the skyyyyyyyyyy..
[02:24.54]Ain't no place I'd rather be
[02:27.56]Only place that's right for me
[02:30.25]Chromed out mansion in paradise
[02:32.81]In the skyyyyyyyyyy..
[02:35.25]
[02:35.74](Verse Three)
[02:36.34]Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good
[02:38.67]Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods
[02:41.52]Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
[02:44.43]Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
[02:47.31]Then some lady named Billie Holiday
[02:49.48]Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came
[02:52.73]Little LaTasha sho' grown
[02:54.86]Tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come home
[02:58.09]Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
[03:01.40]When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band
[03:03.36]Just think of all the people that you knew in the past
[03:05.84]that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last
[03:08.76]Picture a place that they exist, together
[03:11.63]There has to be a place better than this, in heaven
[03:14.38]So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin
[03:17.02]Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion
[03:19.63]
[03:20.11](Chorus: Anthony Hamilton)
[03:20.59]Ain't no place I'd rather be
[03:22.21]Children, dead homies and family
[03:25.03]Sky high, iced out paradise
[03:27.68]In the skyyyyyyyyyy..
