Lyrics:

I ain't mad at'cha
I ain't mad at'cha
I ain't mad at'cha
Check it out

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

Member when you had a Jheri curl didn't quite learn
Trippin' ninety fruit on the proof trippin' off sherm
Collect calls to the till, sayin' how ya changed
Oh, you a muslim now, no more dope games

Just got the phonecall, heard you got bail
Wanna go to the mosque, no time for females
I'm losin' touch with my homie, he's a changed man
He hit the pen and now no sinnin' is the game plan

When I say I'm living large, all you see is the struggle
When I say I'm still buggin', all you see is trouble
Congratulations on the weddin', I hope your wife know
She got a playa for life, and everybody mission

I know we grew apart, you probably don't remember
I used to date with your sister, but never take you with her
And I can see us after school, we'd bomb
On the first player hate us but the wall set on

Now the whole thing'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 brother act
We're some for go toe to toe, watch your brother's back

I can't even laugh, 'cause I ain't laughin' at'cha
You tryin' hard to maintain, then go head
'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 (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 me back, to a place was much too young to know
I caught a felony lovin' the way the guns blow

And eventhough we seperated, you told me you'd wait
Don't give nobody my lovin' 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 laughed at
My phonies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughin' at'cha
'Cause I play too many games and I ain't mad at'cha

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

Father forgive us for livin'
While I'm at home, I slept in prison
Barely breathin', believin' that the world is a prison
It's like a ghetto, we can never leave
A broken role's even bloomed to the cracks that compete

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 day appears I share tattooed tears for when I'm alone

Picture us inside a ghetto heaven
A place to rest, find and peace to this land of stress
In my chest I feel pain comin' inside a storm
Life full of rain in this game, watch for lead, don't

I am born, 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 the sign, make us all believe
'Cause I ain't mad at'cha

For all the home boys that passed away
For all the home boys out in jail
All the people I love for love on the shield

I, I ain't mad at'cha (I ain't mad at'cha)
I ain't mad at'cha (Hey, no, 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)
