Julia
SZA feat. Kendrick Lamar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here soon, here soon
Here soon, here soon

Loving alone is what you make it (make it)
Stay for the storm if you can take it (take it)
But pray for a raincoat
To where they're blind to, mistakes
I know you worry a lot
I'll be here for you
Do I care enough?
Do I feel for you?
I can guarantee

Come on, this one
Come on, this one
Come on, this one
Come on, this one

I didn't know you tried
'Cause you wanted more
And didn't know you cried
'Cause you wanted more
Things don't happen the way you hoped to
I'm just keeping a little hope, baby
I didn't know you tried
'Cause you wanted more

Dying of daydreams in your bedroom (bedroom)
Waiting so long, said you'd be here soon (here soon)
How could you forget that
I'm the one who
Forgot all your mistakes
And dirty drawers
You know I care for you
When hell over earth came
I stood for you
Will you stand for me?

Come on, this one
Come on, this one
Come on, this one
Come on, this one

I didn't know you tried
'Cause you wanted more
And didn't know you cried
'Cause you wanted more
Things don't happen the way you hoped to
I'm just keeping a little hope, baby




I didn't know you tried
'Cause you wanted more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Julia" by SZA feat. Kendrick Lamar talk about being there for someone even when things get tough. The chorus repeating "here soon" suggests waiting for something to happen or someone to arrive, possibly referring to waiting for a relationship to progress or for someone to come back after being away. The lines "loving alone is what you make it, stay for the storm if you can take it" imply that sometimes being in a relationship means going through difficult times, but it's worth it if you're willing to weather them. However, the line "pray for a raincoat" suggests that it's important to prepare for these storms and protect yourself from any potential harm.


The second verse talks about the singer standing by someone even when things aren't going well. The line "how could you forget that I'm the one who forgot all your mistakes and dirty drawers" suggests that even when things aren't perfect, the singer is still supportive and forgiving. The repeated phrase "come on, this one" may suggest a desire for the other person to reciprocate this kind of support and care.


Overall, the lyrics to "Julia" convey a message of being there for someone through tough times and holding onto hope even when things don't go as planned.
