[Intro]
Change, shit
I guess change is good for any of us
Whatever it take for any of y'all n***as to get up out the hood
Shit, I'm wit' cha, I ain't mad at cha
Got nothing but love for ya, do ya thing, boy
Yeah, all the homies that I ain't talk to in a while
I'ma send this one out for y'all
Know what I mean? 'Cause I ain't mad at cha
Heard ch'all tearing up shit out there
Kicking up dust, giving a motherfuck
Yeah, n***as, 'cause I ain't mad at cha
Now, we was

[Verse 1]
Once two n***as of the same kind
Quick da holla at a hoochie with the same line
You was just a little smaller, but cha still rolled
Got stretched to Y.A. and hit the hood swoll
'Member when ya had a Jheri curl, didn't quitе learn
On the block, wit' cha Glock, tripping off sherm
Collеct calls to the crib, saying how you've changed
Oh, you a Muslim now? No more dope game
Heard cha might be coming home, just got bail
Wanna go to the mosque, don't wanna chase tail
It seems I lost my little homie, he's a changed man
Hit the pen' and now no sinning is the game plan
When I talk about money, all ya see is the struggle
When I tell ya I'm living large, you tell me it's trouble
Congratulations on the wedding, I hope your wife know
She got a player for life, and that's no bullshitting
I know we grew apart, you probably don't remember
I used to fiend for your sister, but never went up in her
And I can see us after school, we'd bomb
On the first motherfucker with the wrong shit on
Now the whole shit's changed, and we don't even kick it
Got a big money scheme, and you ain't even with it
Knew in my heart you was the same motherfucker that
Go toe-da-toe, when it's time to roll, you got a brother's back
And I can't even trip, 'cause I'm just laughing at cha
You trying hard to maintain, then go ahead
'Cause I ain't mad at cha
[Chorus 1]
I ain't mad at cha

[Verse 2]
We used to be like distant cousins, fighting, playing dozens
Whole neighborhood buzzing, knowing that we wasn't
Used to catch us on the roof or behind the stairs
I'm getting blitzed, and I reminisce on all the times we shared
Besides bumping and grinding, wasn't nothing on our mind
In time, we'd learned to live a life of crime
Rewind us back to a time was much too young to know
I caught a felony, loving the way the guns blow
And even though we separated, you said that chu'd wait
Don't give nobody no coochie while I'll be locked up-state
I kiss my mama goodbye, and wipe the tears from her lonely eyes
Said I'll return, but I gotta fight, the fate's arrived
Don't shed a tear, 'cause, Mama, I ain't happy here
I blew trial, no more smiles for a couple years
They got me going mad, I'm knocking busters on they backs
In my cell, thinking, "Hell, I know one day I'll be back"
As soon as I touchdown
I told my girl I'd be there, so, prepare to get fucked down
The homies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughing at cha
'Cause you's a down-ass bitch, and I ain't mad at cha

[Chorus 2]
I ain't mad at cha
A true down-ass bitch, I ain't mad at cha
Well, guess who's
[Verse 3]
Moving up? This n***a's balling now
Bitches be calling da get it, hookers keep falling down
He went from nothing da lots, ten carats to rock
Went from a nobody n***a to the big man on the block
He's Mr. Local-Celebrity, addicted to moving ki's
Most hated by enemies, escape in the luxury
See, first, you was our n***a, but, cha made it so the choice is made
Now we gotta say you while you faded, in the younger days
So full of pain while the weapons blaze
Getting so high off that bomb, hoping we make it to the better days
'Cause crime pays, and in time, you'll find a rhyme'll blaze
You'll feel the fire from the n***as in my younger days
So many changed on me, so many tried a plot
That I keep a Glock beside my head, when will it stop?
'Til God return me to my essence
'Cause even as an adolescent, I refused to be a convalescent
So many questions, and they ask me if I'm still down
I moved up out of the ghetto, so, I ain't real now?
They got so much to say, but I'm just laughing at cha
You n***as just don't know, but I ain't mad at cha

[Chorus 3]
Hah, I ain't mad at cha
I ain't mad at cha
Hell nah, I ain't mad at cha
I ain't mad at cha
You know I ain't mad at cha
I ain't mad at cha
I ain't mad at cha
(I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't mad at cha
