The Right Way
Love's Marathon: Navigating Life's Challenges for Forever Bliss
Lyrics
You're mine for now
You are currently in a relationship with me.
Until I get you mad somehow
The relationship is conditional until I upset you somehow.
You're mine for now
Reiteration that you belong to me at the moment.
You're mine for now
Reaffirmation of current possession in the relationship.
'Til I start cussin' in the house
The relationship becomes challenging when arguments arise.
You're mine for now
Reiteration of the current possession despite potential conflicts.
Until you start rackin', trackin' my whereabouts
Until you begin closely monitoring and questioning my activities.
And thinkin' I don't care about you
Suspicions arise, thinking I don't value the relationship.
Because I gotta handle some things without you
I have responsibilities that I must handle independently.
Look what you're tryna figure out, babe
You are trying to understand my actions and decisions.
They gon' throw doubt, babe
Others may cast doubt on our relationship.
It's a marathon and a race for your love
The pursuit of your love is both enduring and competitive.
But let 'em chase, ooh
Let others chase, emphasizing confidence in the relationship.
Your clock's still tickin'
Time is passing, but the desire for you remains.
I'm still wishin' that
I hope your instincts grant permission for a deeper connection.
Your intuition says give me permission
To become an integral part of your life and stay there.
To be your life, to stay your life
Emphasizing the need to handle things correctly to secure the relationship.
I gotta do things the right way to make sure you're mine
Striving to do things the right way to ensure lasting commitment.
Tryna do things the right way, baby
Repeated emphasis on doing things correctly in the relationship.
Tryna do things the right way, baby
-Tryna do things the right way, baby
-Tryna do things the right way, baby
-Tryna do things the right way
-Right way, the right way, the right way
-Tryna do things the right way
-Right way, this time
-We don't owe each other nothin'
The relationship doesn't have explicit obligations but is more significant than casual.
But we know this is more than solo
Acknowledging the importance of the relationship to both partners.
Well this one is all about you
Expressing willingness to change behavior for the relationship's sake.
I'll sacrifice my rapper's attitude
Willing to put aside a tough, distant attitude for the relationship.
Sex sells, I ain't mad at you
Acknowledging the commercial aspect of sexuality without resentment.
Get your money, girl, I'm proud of you
Encouragement for the partner's financial success and independence.
Shuttin' down stages
Applauding the partner's achievements and dedication.
The livest, so dedicated
Affirming commitment for the present and the future.
You're my for now and forever
Expressing possessiveness and commitment simultaneously.
You can say you got a man, a man like a pastor
You can claim to have a partner like a religious leader.
I already got what I want so you know that's now what I'm after still
Satisfied with the current state of the relationship, not seeking more.
I want no more day and after pills
Not interested in contraception or avoiding pregnancy.
Okay I know why I got to chill
Understanding the need to restrain emotions or actions.
Because
I can't lie about the way I feel
Honesty about the inability to conceal true emotions.
I can't lie about the way it feels
Admitting the difficulty in hiding the emotional impact of the relationship.
I can't lie about the simplicity
The relationship is straightforward and uncomplicated.
Between you and, between you and I
Highlighting the simplicity between the two individuals.
Tryna do things the right way, baby, baby
Repeated commitment to doing things correctly in the relationship.
Tryna do things the right way, baby, baby
-Tryna do things the right way, baby (right way)
-Tryna do things the right way, baby
-Tryna do things the right way
-Right way, the right way, the right way
-Tryna do things the right way
-Right way, right way
