Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You thought I wouldn't come around to you, round to you
You know I was down for you, down for you
Now I'm wishin' that I neva bowed to you, bowed to you

I'm in this shit I can't get out of, I'm not proud of
Hate the sound of all these sounds bout you, songs bout u
Ya know I was wrong bout you, wrong bout you
Let you hold on to this cash, let you hold on to

I'm in this shit I can't get out of, I ain't proud of

I'm runnin' outta time to hold you close
Runnin' outta time to be your man
Girl, I'm just lost in this moment
I'm just zonin'
I'm runnin' outta time to hold you down
Runnin' outta time to be your man
Girl, I'm just lost in this moment
I'm just zonin'
You know that I could get you more, a lil more
Whateva you need, whacha need

You know that I could get you more, a lil more
Whateva you need

You found I wouldn't come around to you, round to you
You know I was down for you, down for you
Now I'm wishin' that I neva bowed to you, bowed to you
I'm in this shit I can't get out of, I'm not proud of
Hate the sound of all these sounds bout you, songs bout u

Ya know I was wrong bout you, wrong bout you
Let you hold on to this cash, let you hold on to
I'm in this shit I can't get out of, I ain't proud of

I'm runnin' outta time to hold you close
Runnin' outta time to be your man
Girl, I'm just lost in this moment
I'm just zonin'
I'm runnin' outta time to hold you down
Runnin' outta time to be your man
Girl, I'm just lost in this moment
I've been zonin'
You know that I could get you more, a lil more

Whateva you need, whacha need
You know that I could get you more, a lil more
Whateva you need
What you need
And if you can't see what is on front of you, you lose
And if you can't see what is on front of you, you lose
And if you can't see what is on front of you, you lose

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blackbear’s song “4u” are about regrets and missed opportunities in a romantic relationship. The first verse describes how the singer’s love interest doubted that he would ever come around to her, despite the fact that he was always down for her. The singer expresses regret for bowing to her in the past, indicating that he may have compromised some of his values or beliefs for the sake of the relationship. The chorus repeats the idea that he is running out of time to be with her and is lost in the moment. He wonders if he could have done more for her and promises to give her whatever she needs.


The second verse repeats some of the same phrases from the first verse, such as the singer being stuck in a situation he can’t get out of and hating the sound of songs that remind him of her. He admits that he was wrong about her and allowed her to hold on to his money. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the singer’s sense of urgency in being with her and his regret for lost time. The song ends with the repeated line “And if you can’t see what is in front of you, you lose,” suggesting that the love interest is not able to fully recognize the singer’s true intentions and may miss out on a genuine connection.


Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that has been complicated by mistakes and regrets. The singer is imploring the love interest not to miss out on what he has to offer and is struggling to come to terms with the potential loss of the relationship.
