I Ain't Mad At Cha (feat. Danny Boy)

Change, shit

I guess change is good for any of us

Whatever it take for any of y'all **** to get up out the hood

Shit, I'm with ya

I ain't mad at ya

Got nothin' but love for ya

Do your 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 ya

Heard y'all tearin' up shit out there

Kickin' up dust, givin' a motherfuck

Yeah, ****, 'cause I ain't mad at ya

Now we was once two **** of the same kind

Quick to holla at a hoochie with the same line

You was just a little smaller but you still rolled

Got stretched to Y.A. and hit the hood swole

Remember when you had a Jheri curl, didn't quite learn

On the block, with ya Glock, trippin' off sherm

Collect-calls to the crib sayin' how you've changed

Oh you a Muslim now, no more dope game

Heard you might be comin' 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 sinnin' is the game plan

When I talk about money, all you see is the struggle

When I tell you I'm livin' large, you tell me it's trouble

Congratulations on the weddin', I hope your wife know

She got a playa for life and that's no bullshittin'

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-to-toe

When it's time to roll, you got a brother's back

And I can't even trip, 'cause I'm just laughin' at ya

You tryin' hard to maintain

Then go ahead, 'cause I ain't mad at ya (I ain't mad at ya)

I ain't mad at ya (I ain't mad at ya)

I ain't mad at ya

We used to be like distant cousins, fightin', playin' dozens

Whole neighborhood buzzin', knowin' that we wasn't

Used to catch us on the roof or behind the stairs

I'm gettin' blitzed and I reminisce on all the times we shared

Besides bumpin' and grindin' wasn't nothin' 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, lovin' the way the guns blow

And even though we separated, you said that you'd wait

Don't give nobody no coochie while I'll be locked upstate

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 goin' mad, I'm knockin' busters on they backs

In my cell, thinkin', "Hell, I know one day I'll be back"

As soon as I touch down

I told my girl I'd be there, so prepare to get fucked down

The homies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughin' at ya

'Cause you's a down-ass bitch and I ain't mad at ya

(I ain't mad at ya) I ain't mad at ya

(I ain't mad at ya) A true down-ass bitch

And I ain't mad at ya

Well, guess who's movin' up? This ****'s ballin' now

Bitches be callin' to get it, hookers keep fallin' down

He went from nothin' to lots, ten carats to rock

Went from a nobody **** to the big man on the block

He's Mister Local Celebrity, addicted to movin' ki's

Most hated by enemies, escape in the luxury

See, first you was our ****, but you made it

So the choice is made

Now we gotta slay you while you faded

In the younger days

So full of pain while the weapons blaze

Gettin' so high off that bomb

Hopin' we make it to the better days

'Cause crime pays

And in time you find a rhyme ablaze

You'll feel the fire from the **** in my younger days

So many changed on me, so many tried to plot

That I keep a Glock beside my head, when will it stop?

Till 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 laughin' at ya

You **** just don't know, but I ain't mad at ya

I ain't mad at ya (Nah, I ain't mad at ya)

I ain't mad at ya (Hell, nah, I ain't mad at ya)

I ain't mad at ya (And I ain't mad at ya)

I ain't mad at ya (I ain't mad at ya)

I ain't mad at ya, no

I ain't mad at ya
