2Pac, Danny Boy Steward - I Ain't Mad At Cha lyrics

Change, shit
I guess change is good for any of us
Whatever it take for any of y'all niggas
To get up out the hood
Shit, I'm wit' ya, I ain't mad at cha
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 cha
Heard y'all tearin' up shit out there
Kickin' up dust, givin' a motherfuck
Yeah, niggas, 'cause I ain't mad at cha

Now we was once two niggas 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 YA and hit the hood swoll
'Member when you had a Jheri curl


Didn't quite learn
On the block, wit'cha 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 cha
You tryin' hard to maintain, then go ahead
'Cause 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 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 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 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 cha
'Cause you's a down-ass bitch 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-ass bitch and I ain't mad at cha

Well, guess who's movin' up?
This nigga'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 nigga to the
Big man on the block
He's Mr local-Celebrity
Addicted to movin' ki's
Most hated by enemies, escape in the luxury
See, first you was our nigga
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'll find a rhyme'll blaze
You'll feel the fire from the
Niggas 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?
'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 laughin' at cha
You niggas just don't know
But I ain't mad at cha

I ain't mad at cha 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 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 i ain't mad at cha
