  • Another new song from the best !
    [Intro]
    Lauryn Hill:
    One day you're gonna understand
    [J.Cole]
    Can I holla at you?
    Let me holla at you!
    [Verse 1: J. Cole]
    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
    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 niggas 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 you wouldn't mash the brakes for 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 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
    [Hook]
    Can I holla at you,
    Can I holla at you,
    Let me holla at you,
    Yeah I know its 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 its been a while, but
    [Verse 2: J. Cole]
    You betrayed me,
    The day you played my momma 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 five years old but sense danger in my house
    I was too young too scrap you but damn if I ain't want to
    Im blowing up fast and I hope these words haunt you
    Uh, thirteen years knew you more then 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 bitch nigga "why you lie?"
    Feeling bitter so these words might seem jumbled
    When you left I watched that lady crumble
    I know probably by now you 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 to that punk don't call me
    You ain't shit and I'm scared it rubbed off on me
    [Hook]
    [Verse 3: J. Cole]
    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, naw nigga this ain't you
    Cause 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, you expecting me to act strange
    Hey holla but you on my mind nigga
    I dont forget the good times nigga
    White tee's in the club, jeans baggy as fuck
    Sometimes I look back on my life, that was the happiest stuff
    You 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 seat
    Yo my nigga can I holla at you
    [Hook]
