[Intro]
(Trillo Beats, you did it again)
Changed?
I guess, I guess I'm the one who changed, changed for the better, but (Drell on the Track)
My daughter straight, bro, we talkin' for life, for real (AKel, AKel)

[Verse]
We was once two niggas of the same kind
Quick to holler at the hoes at the same line
I'm happy for you, but I'm disappointed at the same time, look
This for my nigga, I know it's been a little while
Heard through the grapevine that you still holding it down
I couldn't find the pride to say this shit to your face
So I did it it over snares and bass, music take me away
We was young and wild, on a rush to get paid
Runnin' 'round your side of town, nigga, them was the days
And I was bottom boy surviving, but the bottom was torn
Brought me through your neighborhood and embraced me with open arms
So many ups and downs, just tryna get to the loot
They probably wouldn't believe all of the shit we been through
My brother, my ace, my homie, was closer than most
He couldn't get enough, they sent my boy up the road
And when he came home, I knew some shit was different
'Cause looking in his eyes, I couldn't see it in him
When I got back in town, you know I went to get him
I told him 'bout the pounds, I told him 'bout the chickens
It always been our dreams to go from rags to riches
And now I got the scheme and you ain't even with it
I laughed about his dreams, a legitimate business
Guess that was my way of showing you I got growin' to do, but hey

[Chorus]
And I guess there's nothing wrong with change for the better
But I'ma be this way forever
And even though that it's forever thuggin' with me
Never be scared to keep it a hundred with me
I ain't mad at you, yeah (Nah, for real, I can't even be mad at that, you know what I'm saying?)
I can't be mad at you (Once you know a nigga like me, I'm thuggin' forever, bro, I don't need another nigga, I'm still thuggin', bitch, I'ma die for you, man)
I ain't mad at you, yeah (In the middle of the trenches, nigga, the middle of the room, nigga, in front of everybody, nigga, with my gun in my motherfuckin' hand, if I go out, nigga)
I ain't mad at you (I'ma go out thuggin', either they gon' hang me or they gon' bang me)
I ain't mad at you, yeah, oh (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout? For sure, thug life 'til the end)

[Interlude]
But you know, do your shit, my nigga
You know what I'm sayin'?
Salute the kid, with everything, doing your thing, my nigga
Yeah, you know what I'm sayin'?
You changed your life, there's nothing wrong with that, you know what I'm sayin'?
For sure, I still love you, my nigga, for sure

[Chorus]
And I guess there's nothing wrong with change for the better
But I'ma be this way forever
And even though that it's forever thuggin' with me
Never be scared to keep it a hundred with me
I ain't mad at you
Yeah, mmm
I can't be mad at you
I ain't mad at you, yeah, uh
I ain't mad at you
I ain't mad at you, yeah, uh
