Testo Can i holla at ya? J. Cole

Can i holla at ya?

(Intro)
One day you're gonna understand

Aye
Can I holla at ya?
Let me holla at ya

(Verse)
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 bind is deep
We go a couple years and don't even speak but know it's love though
Could never let them dirty your name, I got the upmost respect for ya
Came back home and had the check for you
Word round town is you like down
Some older nigga snatched you up, gave you a right now
Damn, and could it be?
She like ?if you was me you wouldn't wait for me
Living sassy, wouldn't ask to break from me?
Big city slicker nigga 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 miles 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

(Hook)
Can I holla at you?
Can I holla at you?
Let me holla at you
Yea I know it's been a while but ain't no better time than now
Can I holla at you?
Can I holla at you?
Let me holla at you
Yea I know it's been a while but?

(Verse)
You betrayed me
The day you played my mama you played me
Can't believe I let you in my heart nigga
I should've followed my instincts, a stranger in my house
Only 5 years old but since danger in my house
I was too young to you strap you but damned if I didn't want to
I'm blowing up fast and I hope these words haunt you
13 years, knew you more than my real pops
Put me on the pack and all the rappers that killed cops
Who would've thought that you would leave my mama high and dry?
Last words to a bitch nigga, why you lie?
Feelin bitter so these words might seem jumpy
But when you left I watched that lady crumble
I know by now you probably a old man
But still I feel I won't be satisfied until we throw hands for all the ass whooping
Heard you tryna talk to that punk, don't call
You ain't shit and I'm scared it rubbed off home

(Hook)
Let me holla at you
I holla at you
Let me holla at you
Yea I know it's been a while but ain't no better time than now
Can I holla at you?
Can I holla at you?
Let me holla at you
Yea I know it's been a while but?

(Verse)
I heard you on that shit, I hope it ain't true
Was hard to holla at you last time I came through
Could barely recognize you, nah nigga this ain't you
Cuz you ain't lookin like that nigga 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 and you expectin me to act strange
Ain't hollin but you on my mind nigga
I won't forget the good times, nigga
White T's in the club, jeans baggy as fuck
Sometimes I look back on my life,
That was the happiest stuff
We had potential to be monumental via mentality
You know that old killa beat? Kill mentality
I look at where you at now, it's a real fatality
Cuz where you supposed to be is on top close to me
Chasin hoes like the old days but now we overseas
Dog congratulations on the scene
Yo my nigga!

(Hook)
Can I holla at you?
Can I holla at you?
Let me holla at you
Yea I know it's been a while but ain't no better time than now
Can I holla at you?
Can I holla at you?
Let me holla at you
Yea I know it's been a while but?
