In “Verbatim,” blackbear sings about a girl who is indecisive and afraid to speak her mind. “Verbatim” means word-for-word, so he wants her to say exactly what she feels. He wants her to trust him.

[Verse 1]
Won't you say what's on your mind?
Say what's on your mind verbatim
Tell me that you're mine
Show me what you're made of
Say what's on your mind
Say that shit verbatim
Cause I've been second-guessing everything
Won't you say me, babe, verbatim
[Chorus]
You know that I'ma be the one that's there for you
When you ain't got nobody, swear to God
Won't you say what's on your mind, verbatim?
You know that I'ma be the one that keeps it real with you
When everybody's fake as fuck
I'll say what's on my mind, verbatim
[Verse 2]
You've been on too long, girl
Them Xans make you look tired
I ain't tryna piss you off
You know that I ain't biased
You come in, you stumblin'
You smellin' like Jameson
That ain't cute, that ain't you
I know you, girl
And you've been on too long
That cocaine make you crazy
You lose your keys, you lose your phone
Almost every night it seems lately
And I want you and that's so true
But I'ma cut you off if that's what I gotta do
So say what's your mind
Say what, say what's on your mind
[Chorus]
You know that I'ma be the one that's there for you
When you ain't got nobody, swear to God
Won't you say what's on your mind, verbatim?
You know that I'ma be the one that keeps it real with you
When everybody's fake as fuck
I'll say what's on my mind, verbatim
[Bridge]
If you can't see what's in front of you, you lose
If you can't see what's in front of you, you lose
Oh, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
You know that I'ma be the one that's there for you
When you ain't got nobody, swear to God
Won't you say what's on your mind, verbatim?
You know that I'ma be the one that keeps it real with you
When everybody's fake as fuck
I'll say what's on my mind, verbatim

“Verbatim” means word-for-word. When someone expresses their feelings, they may be vague and leave details out due to fears of rejection or being misunderstood. But when Blackbear sings “say what’s on your mind, verbatim,” he wants them to say exactly what they’re thinking without holding back.
