What does "haller" stand for in Timati's song "Not all about the money"?
There is the line: "Let me haller at you"
Is this the same as "holler" or a little pun?
If you don't mind there are three other phrases I have problem with:
"Now she got a hold on me" (got a hold?)
"If you hold my baby, truly your man" (my baby?)
"Could you be the one to ride it shotgun" (>ride it shotgun<?)
I know, for some people it's just another catchy song with no meaning at all, but I really want to understand those sentences.
Please, any help is appreciated.

Thank you soooo much! It really helped me, and I'm sorry for the mistakes I made earlier, which couldn't fix because of anonymity... Thank you once more, MalRey.
