The 'chill spot' is a safe and comfortable spot where they can hangout without any violence, and he praises his friends who create this space for them.

Being with his friends makes the singer happy, and it feels like a holiday whenever they are together. They hang out in their safe and comfortable hangout spot and live their lives without fear. The singer believes that true friendships are more valuable than material possessions, unlike some people who flaunt their wealth to show off. They are not just people who make empty promises but are genuine friends. The last line signifies that they will never break their friendship and stay true to each other.
