Right Thru Me )
Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You see right through me.
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you

You let me win,
You let me ride
You let me rock
You let me slide
And when they lookin'
You let me hide.
Defend my honor
Protect my pride.
The good advice
I always hated
But looking back
It made me greater.
You always told me
Forget the haters
Just get my money,
Just get my weight up.
Know when I'm lying,
Know when I'm crying
It's like you got it
Down to a science
Why am I trying
No you ain't buying,
I tried to fight it
Back with defiance.
You make me laugh
You make me hoarse
From yelling at you
And getting at you
Picking up dishes
Throwing them at you.
Why are you speaking
When no one asked you.

You see right through me.
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you

You see right through me.
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you

What are we doing,
Could you see through me?
Cause you say Nicki
And I say who me?
And you say no you
And I say screw you.
Then you start dressing
And you start leaving
And I start crying
And I start screaming
The heavy breathing
But whats the reason.
Always get the reaction you wanted
I'm actually fronting
I'm askin' you something
Yo, answer this question,
Class is in session,
Tired of letting
Passive aggression
Control my mind,
Capture my soul
OK your right
Just let it go.
OK you got it,
Its in the can.
Before I played it
You knew my hand.
You could turn a free throw into a goal.
Nigga got the peep hole to my soul.

You see right through me.
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you

You see right through me.
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you

Stop,
Stop,
Would you just stop looking through me
Cause I just cant take it.
No I cant take it.

You see right through me.
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you do that shit
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you

You see right through me.
(you see right through me baby)




You see right through me
You see right through me

Overall Meaning

In "Right Thru Me," Nicki Minaj discusses the vulnerability that comes along with being in a relationship, particularly with someone who knows her well enough to see through her facade. The opening lines, "You see right through me. How do you do that shit?" set the tone for the rest of the song, as Minaj marvels at her partner's perceptiveness. Despite her tough exterior, her partner is able to break through and know the real her. She describes the ways in which her partner supports her, allowing her to be herself and shielding her from others' judgment. However, the song takes a turn in the second verse, as the couple begins to fight and Minaj feels exposed and hurt. She questions their connection and wonders if her partner truly knows her as well as they claim to.


The repeated refrain of "How do you do that shit" expresses both wonder and frustration on Minaj's part. She is amazed at her partner's ability to read her so well, but also feels like she's losing control over her own emotions and thoughts. Ultimately, "Right Thru Me" is a song about the tricky business of giving yourself over to someone else's care and attention. It's about the push-pull of intimacy and the scramble to maintain autonomy in the face of intense emotions.
