Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh ya know what?
On the real
Uh
Me and you
We've been through
So much that we need to start off new
Don't be confused
I think it's time, time that you
Tell me the way that you want to be with me, or be with her
This whole ordeal is such a blur
See I was prepared to take a loss
But my heart won't pay the cost
You don't know where you want to be
[Chorus]
You don't have to take my advice
You don't have to compromise
Cause I know that you don't realize
You don't even see
Where you need to be
Be with them, all ya friends
Claim that the closeness is playin a lost end
I want a peace locket in seconds again
Do you want to play with me?
Or play with them?
Tell me where you want to be in love
Is that enough?
When all the problems start adding up
Ladies raise your hands if you've had enough
Scream as loud as you can if you've had enough
Cause he don't know where he wants to be
[Chorus]
[T.I.]
Why you say that baby?
It's all good show
Are you for real?
Common now
Don't talk like that
A, a
Hey I promise in all honesty
I honor you, you honor me
For better, worse, rich, or poor
Whatever it's gonna be
I'm talkin' bout forever more, for the rest of eternity
No need to be insecure
I know what I want to be
I know I made a lot of mistakes
But I can make em all (make em all)
Unless you got your heart set on breakin' hearts
If I can't see your face then my day ain't even worth wakin' up
Especially with these haters no put cases, this time enough
Maybe showin' you attention is something I haven't done enough
But you got all my love on all our love
Girl, I need you to believe in me
You need to know that I know where I need to be, a
[Chorus: x2]
The song "Where You Wanna Be" by Brandy Feat. T.I. addresses the issue of making tough decisions in a relationship. T.I. opens the verse by expressing the need to start fresh as both he and his partner have been through a lot together. He then asks his partner to choose between two options, being with him or being with her. The chorus reinforces the idea that the partner needs to figure out where they want to be in the relationship, and that compromise may not be necessary.
In the second verse, T.I. addresses the partner's indecisiveness, as they claim to want to be with him but also want to be with their friends. He asks if they want to fully commit to the relationship or continue to play games. He reassures his partner that he wants to be with them forever and is willing to work through any obstacles.
Overall, the song highlights the importance of communication and making tough decisions in a relationship.
