Lyrics
You done messed up, I done broke free
From that bondage that was holding me
See, I was chained up for a long time
Yea you had my heart
Yea you had my mind
Livin’ a life of sin I was lovin’ it
It was killing me, I didn’t know it then
But Jesus pulled up and He showed me
Somethin’ better
Now ain’t nobody mad but the devil
Ain’t nobody mad but the devil
Ain’t nodody mad but the devil
Ain’t nobody mad but the devil
Ooooooh
Ain’t nobody mad but the devil
I done made it out, I done made it through
Thought I was giving up?
Ha jokes on you, yea, jokes on you
You thought I was through
Naw, I’ve been renewed
Walking in freedom, walking in victory
Yea I know whose yea I am, yea I know who I be
See Jesus pulled up and
He took me to a whole ‘notha level
Now ain’t nobody mad but the devil
Yea, this joy I found, you can’t take away
This that freedom flow
This that grateful praise
I sing hallelujah to the king of kings
He took off my chains and gave me a ring
Gave me a robe, gave me a crown
I was in the dark but now I’m found
To that old life I ain’t going back NEVER
Now ain’t nobody mad but the devil
Ain’t nobody mad
Ain’t nobody mad but the
Ain’t nobody mad
Ain’t nobody mad but the
Ain’t nobody mad
Ain’t nobody mad but the devil

Meaning & Inspiration
Ain’t Nobody Mad But The Devil tells a conversion story in the language of release, renewal, and grateful praise. The opening recalls bondage to sin and the damage it caused, then identifies Jesus as the one who breaks that captivity. The song’s playful confidence does not hide the seriousness of the contrast: an old life marked by darkness and chains gives way to freedom, victory, joy, and a new identity. Its repeated title functions as a celebration that the former captor no longer controls the outcome.
The later images of a robe and ring strongly recall the father’s welcome in Jesus’ parable of the lost son. Luke 15:22-24 therefore provides a close scriptural connection to restoration after being lost. John 8:36 supports the repeated claim of genuine freedom through the Son, while Colossians 1:13 reflects rescue from darkness into Christ’s kingdom. The refusal to return to the old life reinforces the song’s central testimony: salvation changes both belonging and direction, and praise rises from gratitude for that deliverance.
