Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryna be like cool like we're dope now
Like we're dope
Like we're just gonna be friends
That's the text you just sent me
Just now, hmm
I'm kind of lost now
I have no cause now
My heart is bleeding a tiny bit
I need gauze now
I'm only pleading that you and
Me can be awesome but that's unrealistic
Pain that you inflicted it's so wicked
I'm addicted girl the plates have shifted
I ain't tryna get physical
I just wanna know do you still wear lipstick
Your so encrypted
Your loves my drug, and you got me lifted
Just one night come chill with the MSFTS
Ah, we can just be friends
And we'll hold hands
And dance until the night ends
And I'll run the engine
Don't worry bout vengeance
I'll let you finish all of my senten-ces
You right here, right now
Girl that's a blessing
Just one night we should learn some lessons
Looking so fly
Love the that way you dressing
Uh, like this we can get some mo'
Get it poppin like a festival
But the rest should go
I'll spit it you just give me the pace
Can't breathe like I'm living in space
Imma kick it with AcE
Sorry ma, I ain't been in the states
'Cause my life is a chase
And I'm winning the race
See that you wanted a taste
Starts here with my hand on your waist
I don't care what they say
I wasn't even looking at you
But they said you here with that dude
Is that true? Hop up in the cab too
We be running till I catch you
Don't doubt that
Wanna raid, we can scout that
MSFTS we about that
That's the clique right there
Lil homie you should shout that
Going down, reroute that
We going up right now
I, think I, can find you somewhere
I, think I, can find you somewhere
I, think I, can find you somewhere
I, think I, can find you somewhere dance!
Uh, loo-loo-lookin for somethin' precious
All I'm seein' is toothpicks in dresses
Well I guess it's time to leave
Until I get so intrigued
With somethin' I can believe
It's like, Jesus
Walked through and putted you in pieces
What I means is
It's time to go get us some beezus
'Cause we gon' go to Ibiza and Indonesia
Wherever I can please ya
Girl I'm not gonna tease ya
We can go up in the trees
Or the palace like Caesar
Just tell me where the keys are say cheese
Ah, I hate takin' pictures
I'm not broke, so you can't fix us
I'm the vicious yes, you'll miss us
Girls that kiss us rep the Sixers
Uh, MSFTS we soarin'
Here in 4 in the morning
Spilt orange juice on Ralph Lauren
All them parties are boring
Orange juice is still pouring
We be wild when we touring
We careless about insurance
And what you did isn't important
We missin' up your decor and
We'll end up right on the floor and
We're coolin' out with guitarin'
We messin' up all you chores
Fix it all in the morning
MSFTS is in this roaring
And Willow's kickin' the door in
And AcE is killin' them chords 'cause
I, think I, can find you somewhere
I, think I, can find you somewhere
I, think I, can find you somewhere
I, think I, can find you somewhere
Dance! (Echoes)
The lyrics of Jaden Smith's song "U" depict the singer's struggles with a failed relationship. He states that he was trying to love the person, but they have fallen down, indicating that their relationship has failed. The repetition of "We've fallen down" emphasizes the sense of disappointment and failure that the singer feels. The following lines suggest that the relationship caused him heartbreak and stress, as he is "artichokin'" and can't breathe. He also feels ignored, as a text he sent was never opened. He then states that he's falling down and it seems like he won't be able to get up, which could be a metaphor for his emotional state.
In the chorus, the singer asks if his former partner loves him now, suggesting that despite the failure of the relationship, he still has feelings for them. He then expresses his desire for them to try and see things from his perspective, asking them to come and find him.
The second verse includes a reference to Elvis Presley, which could suggest that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and out of control, just like the King of Rock and Roll during the height of his fame. The FBI reference could suggest that the singer feels persecuted or unfairly targeted, adding to his feelings of stress and anxiety.
The recurring reference to Jimmy Hendrix could suggest that the singer is struggling to find his own voice and identity, or perhaps that he is seeking inspiration from someone who was once as lost as he feels.
Overall, the lyrics of "U" convey a sense of disappointment, heartbreak, and emotional turmoil, as the singer struggles to come to terms with a failed relationship.

Channeling the energy and confidence of Jimi Hendrix
On the Ford motor, rollin', gettin' checks
Enjoying the spoils of success, both financially and in terms of recognition
At your crib for the chill
Hanging out at someone's house in a relaxed, casual setting
Crew is at the door, all for the cheque, cheque, cheque
Being surrounded by people who are only interested in money
Man, you better show respect
Demanding that others show me the respect I deserve
Man I let her go, we both know I had her
Acknowledging my role in the breakdown of the relationship
Man, I'm madder than a hatter, played my money
Feeling angry and foolish for wasting money on frivolous things
You know I'm swagger than Mick Jagger
Feeling confident and in control of my life
Jimmy Hendrix with the shits
Continuing to draw on the inspiration and energy of Jimi Hendrix
(chaos, chaos)
Emphasizing the chaotic and unpredictable nature of life
You're no good for me girl
Recognizing that the relationship is not healthy
You're cruel and infectious
Describing the negative impact of being in the relationship
You are my wish this is me with a death wish
Understanding that being with this person is dangerous or harmful, but unable to resist the temptation
I'm smart, I should get this but
Feeling frustrated by my own inability to make good decisions despite my intelligence
Your eyes, your hips, your lips
Describing the physical attraction to the other person
To me they're so precious, I guard them like treasures
Valuing the other person and their physical attributes
I'd run, I'd drive, I'd fly just distant measures, just to witness your gestures
Willing to do whatever it takes to be near the other person
Never forever, the moments still hold us together
Despite the end of the relationship, the memories and experiences shared will always connect us
I'll die by sea, girl, I'll die by the sea
Expressing willingness to risk everything for the other person
Will you die with me, girl, will you die me?
Asking if the other person will join me in this risky and dangerous endeavor
The future I see, girl, will you try to see?
Visioning a future together and asking the other person to consider it as well
