The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

One day you're gonna understand

Can I holla at you?

Let me holla at you!

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

Could 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 nigga 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 and 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

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

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

I'm 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 by now you probably 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, tell that punk don't call me

You ain't shit and I'm scared it rubbed off on me

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

Ain't 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

We 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 seed

Yo my nigga can I holla at you
