Can I Holla at Ya

J Cole

One day, you're gonna understand...

Can I holla at you?

Let me holla at you!

Special, never forget the day I met you

We was destined for each other like a, son to his mother

Or a, sister and brother, man this bond is deep

We go a couple years and don't even speak

But know it's love though

Could never let em' dirty your name

I got the utmost respect for you

Came back home and had to check for you

Word round town is you locked down

Some older ***** snatched you up gave you a rock now

Damn, hey could it be...

She like, "If you was me you wouldn't wait for me

Living fast and wouldn't mash the brakes for me"

Big city slicker ***** on a higher track

Bigger now but when she send a letter always write her back

And time revealed, she feels that she settled too soon

While she see me go for mines and she admire that

We speak about time as if we could just buy it back

If only it was that simple, damn I miss you

Can I holla at you? Can I holla at you?

Let me holla at you!

Yeah I know it's been a while

But ain't no better time then now

Can I holla at you? Can I holla at you?

Ay, let me holla at you!

Yeah I know it's been a while, but..

You betrayed me

The day you played my momma you played me

Can't believe I let you in my heart *****

I should've, followed my instincts a stranger in my house

Only five years old but sense danger in my house

I was too young to scrap you but damn if I ain't want to

I'm blowing up fast and I hope these words haunt you

Uh, thirteen years knew you more than my real pops

Put me on to 'Pac, and all the rappers that killed cops

Who would've thought you'd leave my momma high and dry

Last words to a ***** ***** "why you lie?"

Feeling bitter so these words might seem jumbled

When you left I watched that lady crumble

I know by now you probably a old man

But I still I feel I won't be satisfied until we throw hands

For all the ass whoppings

Heard you tryna' talk, tell that punk don't call me

You ain't **** and I'm scared it rubbed off on me

Can I holla at you? Can I holla at you?

Let me holla at you!

Yeah I know it's been a while

But ain't no better time then now

Can I holla at you? Can I holla at you?

Ay, let me holla at you

Yeah I know it's been a while, but..

I heard you on that **** I hope it ain't true

Was hard to holla at you last time I came through

Could barely recognize you, nah ***** this ain't you

Cause you ain't lookin' like that ***** that I once knew

And plus you act like you don't know me

We was homies, now you call me by my rap name

See me do my thing, you expecting me to act strange

Ain't holla but you on my mind *****

I dont forget the good times *****

White tee's in the club, jeans baggy as ****

Sometimes I look back on my life, that was the happiest stuff

We had potential to be monumental, 'ville mentality

You know that old kill or be killed mentality

I look at where you at now it's a, real fatality

Cause where you supposed to be is on top, close to me

Chasin' hoes like the old days, but now we overseas, dawg

Congratulations on your seed

Yo my *****, can I holla at you?

Can I holla at you? Can I holla at you?

Let me holla at you!

Yeah I know it's been a while

But ain't no better time then now

Can I holla at you? Can I holla at you?

Ay, let me holla at you

Yeah I know it's been a while, but..
