Song Lyrics

"Holla Ya"

by GRITS
Album: Redemption

Nothing but love,
Nothing but love...

Baby, let me holler at you,
Come on, you better than that,
Gone swing it back, Shorty, let me whisper to you,
Baby, let me holler at you,
Come on, you better than that,
It'll only take a second, Shorty, listen to me,
Baby, let me holler at you,
I know you're doing your thing, but, Shorty, let me explain: girl, you better than that,
You better than that,
You better than that,
You better than that.

Baby girl, you okay' Are you okay, Baby girl'
It's kind of looking like a bad day,
Nah, I ain't being funny or nothing, but let me kick it to the reel like a play, play cousin,
'Cause we go way back, like Easy Bake ovens,
Kept the batter in the fridge 'cause there's roaches in the cupboard,
Now that we established that, go and take a load off and go and chit chat with your brother,
What happened with your man' - Oh, that's what's up,
I thought you said he was the one, and wanted to give him a son,
And after him it was done, 'cause there was no other,
Even got along good with his family and mother,
Girl, stop tripping - you can't change a man unless a man want to change within and rearrange his own plan,
His own mind made, take a stand on his own legs, his own path laid,
Real talk: you know you a flirt,
But even realer, Baby girl, you've got to love you first,
See, don't let nobody else determine your worth,
Don't let another man or woman drag you down in the dirt,
I know truth hurt, but it's good like a medicine,
Swallow it down, let it work and get you better,
Then learn to be patient; let God finish you first,
You're bigger than them diamonds and the superficial persons.

Nothing but love,
True L, O, V, E, you and me,
Nothing but love,
Together in harmony,
Nothing but love,
True L, O, V, E, you and me,
Nothing but love, love, love,
Love, love.

Beautiful, Baby girl, yeah, baby, bob your head,
Precious as babies just born; Baby's a perfect 10,
Moments is perfect when you...you make your presence felt,
Your striking presence, it hit me, and hit below the belt,
How can we cherish this moment' No pick can make it stick,
Know they're impatiently waiting for you, girl - this is it,
It designed I'd find dimes, double-date, triple-date,
Fine dine, sipping on fine wine,
Time flies by when we close eyes,
Don't lie...well, sometimes they do, and big girls cry too,
Try to properly prepare myself for future burn,
Rose while I carry loads - careful, slow at every turn,
Not just a job, but an adventure,
I plan to pinch you, call A la mode,
I'll wrench you, praying to the God who sent you,
Either or, I can't leave for our lives are intertwined like chain in the fences.

Nothing but love,
True L, O, V, E, you and me,
Nothing but love,
Together in harmony,
Nothing but love,
True L, O, V, E, you and me,
Nothing but love, love, love,
Love, love.

And, if our love should grow, we got to get to the root,
Listen to my teaching, be astute,
I ain't the one to steer you wrong,
Wrote the lyrics to this song, helping others in your position to move on,
And, if our love should grow, we got to get to the root,
Listen to my teaching, be astute,

Baby, let me holler at you,
Come on, you better than that,
Gone swing it back, Shorty, let me whisper to you,
Baby, let me holler at you,
Come on, you better than that,
It'll only take a second, Shorty, listen to me,
Baby, let me holler at you,
I know you're doing your thing, but, Shorty, let me explain: girl, you better than that,
You better than that,
You better than that,
You better than that.
