4u

blackbear's song '4u' delves into the emotional complexities of a relationship that has gone awry. The lyrics reveal a sense of regret and self-reflection, as the artist grapples with the consequences of his actions and the realization that he may have been wrong about his partner. The repeated lines, 'You thought I wouldn't come around to you, 'round to you / You know I was down for ya, down for you,' highlight a sense of betrayal and disappointment, both in himself and in the relationship. This repetition underscores the cyclical nature of his thoughts and the difficulty in moving past the emotional turmoil.

The song also touches on themes of time and urgency, as blackbear sings, 'I'm running out of time to hold you close / Running out of time to be your man.' This sense of running out of time adds a layer of desperation to the narrative, suggesting that the window for reconciliation or making amends is closing. The phrase 'lost in the moment' and 'zoning' indicate a state of confusion and disorientation, further emphasizing the emotional chaos he is experiencing.

Additionally, the lyrics 'You know that I could get you more, a little more / Whatever you need, what you need' suggest a lingering desire to make things right, even though he acknowledges that he is in a situation he is not proud of. This duality of wanting to provide and feeling trapped creates a poignant tension throughout the song. blackbear's signature blend of R&B and hip-hop elements, combined with his raw, introspective lyrics, make '4u' a compelling exploration of love, regret, and the struggle to find clarity amidst emotional confusion.
