The Right Way
Partynextdoor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're mine for now
Until I get you mad somehow
You're mine for now
You're mine for now
'Til I start cussin' in the house
You're mine for now
Until you start rackin', trackin' my whereabouts
And thinkin' I don't care about you
Because I gotta handle some things without you
Look what you're tryna figure out, babe
They gon' throw doubt, babe
It's a marathon and a race for your love
But let 'em chase, ooh
Your clock's still tickin'
I'm still wishin' that
Your intuition says give me permission
To be your life, to stay your life
I gotta do things the right way to make sure you're mine

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, 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'
But we know this is more than solo
Well this one is all about you
I'll sacrifice my rapper's attitude
Sex sells, I ain't mad at you
Get your money, girl, I'm proud of you
Shuttin' down stages
The livest, so dedicated
You're my for now and forever
You can say you got a man, a man like a pastor
I already got what I want so you know that's now what I'm after still
I want no more day and after pills
Okay I know why I got to chill
Because
I can't lie about the way I feel
I can't lie about the way it feels
I can't lie about the simplicity
Between you and, between you and I

Tryna do things the right way, baby, baby
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

Overall Meaning

In PartyNextDoor's song "The Right Way," the artist seems to be grappling with how to maintain a romantic relationship and still pursue his career. The first stanza is a warning of sorts, as he acknowledges that he tends to get angry and curse, which may cause tension in the relationship. Despite this, he asserts that the person in question is his for the time being. However, he's aware that as things progress, issues may arise, such as accusations of disinterest or betrayal. Nevertheless, he believes that he can make it work if he does things "the right way" and earns the trust and permission of his partner to be a consistent presence in their life.


The chorus reaffirms his commitment to doing things "the right way" and repeats the phrase several times, emphasizing the importance of this desire. He acknowledges that he and his partner are not bound to each other in any formal way, but that the relationship is still valuable to both of them, and he's willing to prioritize it over his career as a rapper. He expresses pride in his partner's success and commits to being faithful and honest, even if it means giving up certain habits or behaviors that may previously have led to problems.
