In "4ME," Ojerime pushes back against a love that has become suffocating, telling an overeager partner that affection demands a price she cannot keep paying. She wants space to breathe and escape, while he mistakes her physical presence for real closeness and imagines a forever she refuses. The contrast between his clinging devotion and her need to run frames the whole song as a quiet but firm breakup. Her warning not to get used to her turns distance into a kind of honesty, making clear that staying would only create more discord.
4ME Lyrics by Ojerime
You’re all over me
All this love ain’t free
Want forever
I just wanna breathe
Wanna runaway
You don’t really see
I’m not your destiny
We’re not meant to be
These days
Got you so damn sprung on me
If I’m here won’t be no harmony
Just ‘cos I’m there
Don’t mean I’m company
Won’t be here long
Don’t get used to me
These days
Got you so damn sprung on me
If I’m here won’t be no harmony
Just ‘cos I’m there
Don’t mean I’m company
Won’t be here long
Don’t get used to me
You’re all over me
All this love ain’t free
You want forever
Bae, I just wanna breathe
Wanna runaway
Man you can’t even see
I’m not in your destiny
We’re not ever meant to be
You’re all over me
All this love ain’t free
You want forever
Bae, I just wanna breathe
Wanna runaway
Man you can’t even see
I’m not in your destiny
We’re not ever meant to be
