[Verse 1: 2Pac] 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 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 crib, saying how you've changed Oh you a Muslim now? No more dope game Heard you might be coming 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 sinning is the game plan When I talk about money all you see is the struggle When I tell you I'm living large you tell me it's trouble Congratulations on the wedding, I hope your wife know She got a playa for life, and that's no bullshitting 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 Hmm, 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 laughing at cha You trying hard to maintain, then go head Cause I ain't mad at cha (Hmm, I ain't mad at cha)
[Hook] [Danny Boy:] I ain't - mad - at cha [2Pac:] I ain't mad at cha [Danny Boy:] I ain't - mad - at cha
[Verse 2: 2Pac] We used to be like distant cousins, fighting, playing dozens Whole neighborhood buzzing, knowing that we wasn't Used to catch us on the roof or behind the stairs I'm getting blitzed and I reminisce on all the times we shared Besides, bumping n grinding wasn't nothing 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 loving 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'm through trial, no more smiles, for a couple years They got me going mad, I'm knocking busters on they backs In my cell, thinking, "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 fucked down The homies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughing at cha Cause you's a down ass bitch, and I ain't mad at cha

[Verse 3: 2Pac] Well guess who's moving up, this nigga's ballin now Bitches be calling to get it, hookers keep fallin down He went from nuttin' 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 move a key Most hated by enemy, escape in the Luxury See, first you was our nigga 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 Getting so high off that bomb hoping we make it, to the bet
