[Intro - 2Pac]
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 got to get all dressed up and be hollywood
You know wha' I mean?
Where do niggaz go when we gonna 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 1]
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've 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 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 Dayz, promised to hold on
My and my doggz ain't have a choice but to roll on
We found a final 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 know we Gz
We still vizualise places that we can roll in peace
And in my mind's eyes see this place that players go and past
And got a spot for us all, so we can ball at Thugz Mansion

[Chorus - Anthony Hamilton]
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Chillin' with 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

[Verse 2]
Will I surive all the fights in the darkness
Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is get departed
I shed tattoo tears and couldn't sleep good for multiple years
Witness peers catch gunshots, nobody cares
Seen the politicians ban us, they 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 remain, cause all the rest dead
Is there a spot for us to roll, if you'll find it
I 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 place of slangin' drugs
In Thugz Mansion

[Chorus - Anthony Hamilton]
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Chillin' with 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

[Verse 3]
Dear mama 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, drinkin' peppermints schnapps with Jackie Willson and Sam Cook
Then some lady named Billy Holliday sang, sittin' there and kickin' it with Malcom till the day came
Little LaTasha sure grown, tell a lady in the liquor store that she has forgiven, so come home
Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
Where Mile Davis cuttin' loose with the band
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past that passed on 
They in heaven found peace that lasted
Picture a place that they excist, 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 Thugz Mansion

[Chorus - Anthony Hamilton 2x]
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Chillin' with 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
