[00:01.23] Change, shit
[00:03.78] I guess change is good for any of us

[00:32.02] Givin' a motherfuck
[00:35.03] Yeah, niggaz (mad at cha)
[00:37.21] 'Cause I ain't mad at cha
[00:38.37] Now we was once two niggaz of the same kind
[00:41.12] Quick to holla at a hoochie with the same line
[00:43.93] You was just a little smaller but you still roller
[00:46.83] Got stretched to Y.A. and hit the hood swoll
[00:49.48] 'Member when you had a jheri curl didn't quite learn
[00:52.55] On the block, witcha Glock, trippin' off sherm
[00:55.29] Collect calls to the till, sayin' how you changed
[00:58.24] Oh, you a Muslim now, no more dope game
[01:01.09] Heard you might be comin' home, just got bail
[01:03.77] Wanna go to the Mosque, don't wanna chase tail
[01:06.48] It seems I lost my little homie, he's a changed man
[01:09.48] Hit the pen and now no sinnin' is the game plan
[01:12.31] When I talk about money, all you see is the struggle
[01:14.93] When I tell you I'm livin' large you tell me it's trouble
[01:18.37] Congratulations on the weddin', I hope your wife know
[01:21.27] She got a playa for life, and that's no bullshitin'
[01:24.26] I know we grew apart, you probably don't remember
[01:27.01] I used to fiend for your sister, but never went up in her
[01:29.64] And I can see us after school
[01:31.32] We'd bomb on the first motherfucker with the wrong shit on
[01:34.87] Now the whole shit's changed, and we don't even kick it
[01:37.71] Got a big money scheme, and you ain't even with it
[01:40.55] Hmm, knew in my heart you was the same motherfucker bad
[01:43.88] Go toe to toe, when it's time for roll you got a brother's back
[01:46.83] And I can't even trip, 'cause I'm just laughin' at cha
[01:49.49] You tryin' hard to maintain, then go head
[01:51.65] 'Cause I ain't mad at cha
[01:56.06] I ain't mad at cha
[01:58.21] I ain't mad at cha
[02:01.58] (I ain't mad at cha)
[02:03.77] I ain't mad at cha
[02:08.59] We used to be like distant cousins, fightin', playin' dozens
[02:11.51] Whole neighborhood buzzin', knowin', that we wasn't
[02:14.40] Used to catch us on the roof or behind the stairs
[02:16.93] I'm gettin' blitzed, and I reminisce on all the times we shared
[02:19.79] Besides bumpin' n grindin' wasn't nothin' on our mind
[02:22.96] In time, we learned to live a life of crime
[02:25.12] Rewind us back, to a time was much too young to know
[02:28.33] I caught a felony lovin' the way the guns blow
[02:31.35] And even though we separated, you said that you'd wait
[02:33.91] Don't give nobody no coochie while I be locked up state
[02:36.61] I kiss my Mama goodbye
[02:38.14] And wipe the tears from her lonely eyes
[02:40.20] Said I'll return but I gotta fight the fate's arrived
[02:43.14] Don't shed a tear, 'cause Mama I ain't happy here
[02:45.62] I'm through trial, no more smiles, for a couple years
[02:48.67] They got me goin' mad, I'm knockin' busters on they backs
[02:51.51] In my cell, thinkin', "Hell, I know one day I'll be back"
[02:54.73] As soon as I touch down
[02:56.62] I told my girl I'll be there, so prepare, to get fucked down
[02:59.93] The homies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughin' at cha
[03:02.81] 'Cause youse a down ass bitch, and I ain't mad at cha
[03:06.44] I ain't mad at cha
[03:09.28] (I ain't mad at cha)
[03:11.50] I ain't mad at cha
[03:13.98] (A true down ass bitch, and I ain't mad at cha)
[03:16.58] Well, guess who's movin' up, this nigga's ballin' now
[03:18.85] Bitches be callin' to get it, hookers keep fallin' down
[03:21.94] He went from nuttin' to lots, ten carots to rock
[03:24.69] Went from a nobody nigga to the big, man on the block
[03:27.54] He's Mister local celebrity, addicted to move a key
[03:30.61] Most hated by enemy, escape in the Luxury
[03:33.49] See, first you was our nigga, but you made it
[03:35.65] So the choice is made
[03:36.52] Now we gotta slay you why you faded, in the younger days
[03:39.42] So full of pain while the weapons blaze
[03:41.74] Gettin' so high off that bomb hopin' we make it to the better days
[03:45.18] 'Cause crime pays, and in time, you'll find a rhyme'll blaze
[03:48.04] You'll feel the fire from the niggaz in my younger days
[03:50.78] So many changed on me, so many tried to plot
[03:53.54] That I keep a Glock beside my head, when will it stop
[03:56.34] 'Til God return me to my essence
[03:58.29] Cause even as a adolescents, I refuse to be a convalescent
[04:02.09] So many questions, and they ask me if I'm still down
[04:04.85] I moved up out of the ghetto, so I ain't real now?
[04:07.64] They got so much to say, but I'm just laughin' at cha
[04:10.51] You niggaz just don't know, but I ain't mad at cha
[04:13.73] I ain't mad at cha
[04:16.86] (And I ain't mad at cha)
[04:18.85] I ain't mad at cha
[04:21.95] (Hell nah, I ain't mad at cha)
[04:23.71] I ain't mad at cha
[04:28.06] (And I ain't mad at cha)
[04:30.60] I ain't mad at cha
[04:33.69] (And I ain't mad at cha)
[04:36.27] I ain't mad at cha, no
[04:41.68] I ain't mad at cha
[04:49.87]
