J. Cole - Can I Holla At Ya? lyrics

(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 n***a 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 sponsored links Living sa**y, wouldn’t ask to break from me” Big city slicker n***a 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 n***a 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 k**ed cops Who would’ve thought that you would leave my mama high and dry? Last words to a b**h n***a, 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 a** whooping Heard you tryna talk to that punk, don’t call You ain’t sh** 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 sh**, I hope it ain’t true Was hard to holla at you last time I came through Could barely recognize you, nah n***a this ain’t you Cuz you ain’t lookin like that n***a 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 n***a I won’t forget the good times, n***a White T’s in the club, jeans baggy as f** Sometimes I look back on my life, That was the happiest stuff We had potential to be monumental via mentality You know that old k**a beat? k** 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 n***a! (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…
