2pac - I Aint Mad At Cha lyrics

Change, sh** 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 sh**, 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, kna' mean? 'Cause I ain't mad at cha Heard y'all tearin' up sh** out there, kickin' up dust Givin' a motherf**er, Yeah, n***as, mad at cha 'Cause I ain't mad at cha Now we was once two n***as 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 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 m**m 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 bullsh**tin' 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 motherf**er with the wrong sh** on Now the whole sh**'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 motherf**er 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 reminisce 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 separated, 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 f**ed down The homies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughin' at cha 'Cause youse a down a** b**h, 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 a** b**h, afund I ain't mad at cha) Well guess who's movin up, this n***a's ballin' now b**hes be callin' to get it, hookers keep fallin' down He went from nothin' to lots, ten carots to rock Went from a nobody n***a to the big, man on the block He's Mister local celebrity, addicted to move a key Most hated by enemy, escape in the luxury See, first you was our n***a but you made it, so the choice is made Now we gotta slay you why 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 n***as 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 a adolescents, I refuse 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 n***as just don't know, but 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 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, no I ain't mad at cha
