blackbear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one that held me down and kinda told the truth
At Warwick every Wednesday
Can't control you
Partyin' with rappers
Actin' hoeish too
You got yourself a singer, ah
Even let you and your girls go whip the Ghost 'round town
Draped you head to toe in Gucci Ghost, wow
And I never got a single fuckin' thank you from you
Or, "I love you daddy"
You ungrateful bitch
The more the baddie, more the bratty
Man, I'd take you out for dinners
Take you shopping for them clothes
Before I got so distant
And you got so fucking cold
I miss the old you
I miss the old you
I used to hold you
I used to hold you
And that ain't cost nothing, baby
Real love don't cost a motherfuckin' penny
I miss the old me
I miss the way I used to be
I miss the old me
And now these drugs controllin' me
It's all your fault, baby
Still reaching for the Henny
And I never got a single fuckin' thank you from you
Or, "I love you daddy"
You ungrateful bitch
The more the baddie, more the bratty
Man, I'd take you out for dinners
Take you shopping for them clothes
Before I got so rich and couldn't trust none of these hoes
I miss the old you
(Take you shopping for them clothes, before I got so distant and you got so fucking cold)
I miss the old you
Before you fucked G-Eazy
Both the Migos too
Started bumping 21
And now just 'cause we do
On the slow notes, late night
Beartrap, mansionz
I got snoozegod on my right
I pour a 4 up in my Sprite
When it was on, we was on fire
Even let you and your girls go whip the Ghost 'round town
Draped you head to toe in Gucci Ghost, wow
And I never got a single fucking thank you from you
Or, "I love you daddy"
You ungrateful bitch
The more the baddie, more the bratty
Man, I take you out for dinners
Take you shopping for them clothes
Before I got so distant
And you got so fucking cold
I miss the old you
I miss the old you
I used to hold you
I used to hold you
And that ain't cost nothing, baby
Real love don't cost a motherfuckin' penny
I miss the old me
I miss they way I used to be
I miss the old me
And now these drugs controllin' me
It's all your fault, baby
Still reaching for the Henny
And I never got a single fuckin' thank you from you
Or, "I love you daddy"
You ungrateful bitch
The more the baddie, more the bratty
Man, I take you out for dinners
Take you shopping for them clothes
Before I got so rich and couldn't trust none of these hoes
I miss the old you
I miss the old you
I miss the old you
I miss the old you
I miss the old you
In "i miss the old u," Blackbear sings about how he misses the old version of his partner. He remembers how they used to have love for each other, but now things have changed. In the song, he mentions how she used to be honest with him, and they used to hang out at Warwick on Wednesdays. Blackbear mentions how she started partying with rappers and acting "hoeish" too, which caused a shift in their relationship. He recalls how they used to go out and spend money together, and how he would take her shopping and buy her dinner. However, things changed, and he became distant, and she became cold towards him. The chorus repeats how he misses the old version of her as well as himself but mentions how he feels controlled by drugs now.
Additionally, Blackbear expresses frustration towards his former partner in the song. He feels like she has become ungrateful and entitled, and she never expresses any gratitude towards him for the things he's done for her. He notes how she became more bratty as she became more confident in herself. There's also mentions of other rappers, such as G-Eazy and Migos, whom she might have had an affair with. Blackbear is referring to how things have changed between them and how he wishes they could go back to who they were before any of these issues.
