[00:23.500]At thug mansion
[00:25.340]A place to spend my quiet nights  time to unwind
[00:27.960]So much pressure in this life of mine  I cry at times
[00:30.660]I once contemplated suicide  and woulda tried
[00:33.270]But when I held that 9  all I could see was my momma's eyes
[00:36.590]No one knows my struggle  they only see the trouble
[00:39.160]Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
[00:42.160]Picture me inside the misery of poverty
[00:44.720]No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived
[00:46.910]Prayin hard for better days  promise to hold on
[00:50.220]Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on
[00:52.970]We found a family spot to kick it
[00:54.770]Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit
[00:57.660]A spot where we can smoke in peace  and even though we G's
[01:00.660]We still visualize places  that we can roll in peace
[01:03.340]And in my mind's eye I see this place  the players go in fast
[01:06.520]I got a spot for us all  so we can ball  at thug's mansion
[01:09.340]Ain't no place I'd rather be

[01:30.680]Will I survive all the fights and the darkness
[01:33.240]Trouble sparks  they tell me home is where the heart is  dear departed
[01:36.550]I shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good
[01:39.190]For multiple years  witness peers catch gunshots
[01:41.690]Nobody cares  seen the politicians ban us
[01:44.550]They'd rather see us locked in chains  please explain
[01:47.190]Why they can't stand us  is there a way for me to change
[01:50.380]Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain
[01:53.130]I need a place to rest my head
[01:54.880]With the little bit of homeboys that remains  cause all the rest dead
[01:58.490]Is there a spot for us to roll  if you find it

[02:03.490]How can I be peaceful  I'm comin from the bottom
[02:06.130]Watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him
[02:09.500]I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape
[02:12.440]The deadly places slingin drugs  in thug's mansion
[02:14.560]Ain't no place I'd rather be
[02:17.310]Chillin' with homies and family

[02:58.190]Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
[03:01.560]When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band
[03:03.560]Just think of all the people that you knew in the past
[03:06.190]That passed on  they in heaven  found peace at last
[03:09.380]Picture a place that they exist  together
[03:12.000]There has to be a place better than this  in heaven
