(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…
