Murda I.N.C.
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
J to the L-O
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

Overall Meaning

Ja Rule and Cadillac Tah's "Ain't That Funny" is a song about the lighter side of a breakup. Ja Rule croons about his ex-girlfriend, seeming to flirt with the idea that there could always be a second chance between them. However, he is also content with where he is and knows that things would have to change if they wanted to be together again. The lyrics also touch on the fact that love can be fickle and that sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to.


The chorus of the song drives home the message of the song- that it's funny how things turn out in love. After all the pain and drama of a break up, you can still find joy and humor in the fact that you made it through. Ja Rule's playful take on his failed relationship is refreshing, and his chemistry with Jennifer Lopez is palpable.


The rap verse of the song complements the melody expertly, with Cadillac Tah delivering a flurry of words that reflect the playful nature of the song. "Ain't That Funny" has a catchy chorus, laid-back beats, and an infectious bassline that hooks you instantly. The song was released at the height of Ja Rule and JLo's popularity, and it's easy to see why it was such a hit.

@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.
