About Right Thru Me

"Right Thru Me" is the second official single from Trinidadian-born American rapper and singer Nicki Minaj's Young Money debut album, Pink Friday (2010). The song was released as a digital download on September 14, 2010 before being serviced to urban and rhythmic Radio on October 5 and then mainstream radio on November 2, 2010. The song charted on the US Billboard Hot 100, Australia, and the United Kingdom. "Right Thru Me" is described as being a Electronic, hip hop, R&B, track, compared to her usual rap and features electronic beats and synths. Lyrically, Minaj wonders how a lover can see through her. The music video was shot over the weekend of October 1, 2010 and was directed by Diane Martel and was later premiered on October 27. The concept is a boy-girl relationship drama and features Minaj and her love fighting and arguing, with him threatening to leave her while Minaj tries to apologize. The video was met with positive reviews from critics, with many calling it more natural and deep than her fun and costume-filled videos. Minaj has promoted the song in several live appearances on The Wendy Williams Show, Late Show with David Letterman, Live with Regis and Kelly, Saturday Night Live, and 106 & Park.

[Chorus]
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
Its 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 made me laugh
You make me horse
From yelling at you
And getting at you
Picking up dishes
Throwing them at you.
Why are you speaking
When no one asked you.

[Chorus: x2]

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.

[Chorus: x2]

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
