Can I Holla At Ya Lyrics - Truly Yours - J. Cole

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

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...
