Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ha ha it must be the ass
That got me like that
If it get any fatter
Man the rule gonna have to get at her
And our situation won't matter
I come to make you smile
In the freakiest manners
Hello, no I'm not Ley Harvery Oswald
I'm the rule in the shot call
Off the wall
Like MJ in his early days
It's the Inc. and Lopez now
Ain't it funny
It's been awhile since you came around
Now ya wanna see what's goin' down
Tryin' to tell me how ya want my time
Tryin' to tell me how I'm on your mind (on your mind)
See it never had to be this way
You should of never played the games you played
Now I'm seein' that you're kinda lame
Knowin how the situation changed
Ain't it funny
Baby that you want me, when you had me
Love is crazy, now I can smile and say
Ain't it funny
Baby that you want me, when you had me
Love is crazy, I'm glad I can smile and say
Ain't it funny
I remember how you walked away
Even when I tried to call your name
See at first I didn't understand
Now you're lookin' like a lonely man (lonely man)
I remember how you did me wrong
And now you're hurtin' 'cause my love is gone
Everybody gets a chance to burn
You can take it as a lesson learned
Ain't it funny
Baby that you want me, when you had me
Love is crazy, now I can smile and say
Ain't it funny
Baby that you want me, when you had me
Love is crazy, I'm glad I can smile and say
Ain't it funny
C-A double D, Hi
Double dose my
Fly by, red line
Touch the roast side
Oh I, never been a sucker for chill Ja
Spit the ism, hit 'em, get rid of em, and you know Tah
Get it gully, and ain't that funny
How they want me, see me workin' wit money
But Cali ain't a dummy
What these brodies want from me?
Cos all I got is G, J.Lo
And Murda I.N.C.
I really wish you wouldn't send me gifts
Tryin' to make me sit and reminisce
Tryin' to blind me with your bling bling
Thought I told you love don't cost a thing
(love don't cost a thing)
Hope you realize that now I'm through
And I don't ever wanna hear from you
I had enough of bein' there for you
Now I'm laughin' while you play the fool
Ain't it funny
Baby that you want me, when you had me
Love is crazy, now I can smile and say
Ain't it funny
Baby that you want me, when you had me
Love is crazy, I'm glad I can smile and say
Ain't it funny
Baby, is that you're girlfriend
I got my boyfriend
But maybe we can be friends
La da da da da da
Baby, I got my boyfriend
Is that your girlfriend
Maybe we can be friends
La da da da da da
The song "Ain't It Funny" by Caddillac Tah is a collaboration with Jennifer Lopez and Ja Rule. The song was released in 2001 and is in the hip-hop and R&B genre. The lyrics seem to describe a romantic relationship gone wrong, with Lopez singing about a past love interest who wants her back now that she's moved on. She is essentially telling him that it's too late, he had his chance and lost it. In the rap verses, Caddillac Tah and Ja Rule contribute their own perspectives on the situation, with Tah referencing his wealth and mentioning J.Lo while Ja Rule raps about his own hard-edged reputation.
The chorus of the song is particularly catchy and memorable, with Lopez proclaiming "Ain't it funny, how you want me when you had me?" This line speaks to the universal experience of a person only realizing their love for someone after it's too late. Throughout the song, there is an underlying message of self-love and empowerment, as Lopez confidently asserts that she is better off without her ex and is able to laugh at his feeble attempts to win her back.
This song was a commercial success and hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also remixed and released in Spanish as "Juntos" in 2003. "Ain't It Funny" remains a popular song to this day and is often included in throwback playlists and nostalgic 2000s music compilations.

I love this Ashanti song
@Nancy2420s
We dont have any music today!! Music is dead now. 90s and 2000's will never be replaced.
@agentcodybanx8909
'It must be the ass" is the greatest intro to any song ever
@Papi.Pharaoh
Ja Rule deserves so many awards for all the great music he blessed us with in the early ‘00s, all of his songs are timeless hits. You couldn’t turn the radio on back then without hearing a song from him. He used to be the man. Until this very day, I felt like they should’ve gave my girl Ashanti her credit for her background vocals.
