A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind

So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times

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'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother
Am
And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy

And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more

Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne
where angels soar, with golden wings in thug's mansion
