Caribou - The Spiritually Immature Mansion lyrics

Tired of gettin' chased by
The police and arrested
Niggas need a spot where we can kick it
Niggas ain't gotta get all dressed
Up and be Hollywood
Y'knahmean where do niggas go when we die?
Ain't no Heaven for a thug niggas
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
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 a tried but when I held that 9
All I could see was my mommas 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
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
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 home boys
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
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
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
Drippin' peppermint schnapps, with
Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
Then some lady named Billie holiday
Sang sittin' there kickin' it with Malcolm
Till 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
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
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
Tired of gettin' chased by
The police and arrested
Niggas need a spot where we can kick it
