Change, ****, I guess change is good for any of us
Whatever it take for any of y'all *****z to get up out the hood
****, I'm wit cha, I ain't mad at cha
Got nuttin' 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, knahmean?
'Cause I ain't mad at cha
Heard y'all tearin' up **** out there, kickin' up dust

I ain't givin' a mother***ker, hehehe
Yeah, *****z
Mad at cha
'Cause I ain't mad at cha

Now we was once two *****z of the same kind
Quick to holla at a hoochie with the same line
You was just a little smaller but you still roller
Got stretched to Y.A. and hit the hood swoll

Member when you had a jheri curl didn't quite learn
On the block, witcha glock, trippin' off sherm
Collect calls to the till, sayin' how ya 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
I 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
Congratulation on the weddin', I hope your wife know
She got a playa for life, and that's no ********in'

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 mother***ker with the wrong **** on

Now the whole ****'s changed, and we don't even kick it
Got a big money scheme, and you ain't even with it
Hmm, knew in my heart you was the same mother***ker bad
Go toe to toe when it's time for roll you got a brother's back

And I can't even trip, 'cause I'm just laughin' at cha
You tryin' hard to maintain, then go head

'Cause I ain't mad at cha
(Hmm, I ain't mad at cha)

I ain't, mad, at cha
(I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad, at cha

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 reminsce on all the times we shared

Besides bumpin' 'n' grindin' wasn't nothin' on our mind
In time we 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 seperated, you said that you'd wait
Don't give nobody no coochie while I 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'm through 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'll be there, so prepare, to get ***ked down
The homies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughin' at cha
'Cause you'se a down *** *****, and I ain't mad at cha

I ain't, mad, at cha
(I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad, at cha
(A true down *** *****, and I ain't mad at cha)

Father forgive us for livin' while all my homies stuck in prison
Barely breatin' believin' that the world is a prison
It's like a ghetto we can never leave
A broken rose givin' bloom to the cracks of the concrete

So many other things for us to see
Things to be, our history so full of tragedy and misery
To all my homies never made it home
The dead peers, I shed tattoo tears for, when I'm alone

Picture us inside a ghetto heaven, a place to rest
Findin' peace through this land of stress
In my chest, I feel pain comin' sudden storms
Life full of rain in this game watch for landstorms

Our unborn never got to grow, never got to see what's next
In this world full of countless threats
I beg God, to make a way for our ghetto kids to breathe
Show a sign, make us all believe 'cause I ain't mad at cha

I ain't, mad at cha
(And I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't mad
(Hell nah, I ain't mad at cha)
At cha

I ain't, mad at mha
(And I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad at cha
(I ain't mad at cha)

I ain't, mad at cha, no
I ain't mad at cha
