I was Right There

August Alsina- Right There

Everyone who wants to reach their goals, has to take steps; it doesn't happen over night! This song puts that into perspective.

Song Lyrics:

Right there, right there, right there

Right there, right there, right there

Right there, right there, right there

Right there, right there, right there

I know how it be when you trying your best

But you turn around, and you got nothing to show for it

So you stay on your grind, tryna get to the shine

Even turn to crime, but how come I ain't made it yet?

I'm just like you (I know the feeling y'all), I been there too

I hope you feel me cause I, been through the pain

There ain't a difference, you and I are the same

Homie I was

Right there, right there, right there, right there

I was right there where you are I can't forget that I was

Right there, right there, right there, right there

Now I'm reaching for the stars but I remember I was

Right there, right there, right there

Homie I was

Right there, right there, right there

Getting money

Right there, right there, right there

Born and raised

Right there, right there, right there

I remember nights there, when I had to go to sleep, in the back of the Quick & Easy

Chilling on the boulevard, with them hardheaded niggas from the 7th ward

Had a chick in the Ville, who was down for a nigga that's real

Use to have fam in the Florida projects

That's why I'll never forget

I'm just like you (I know the feeling y'all), I been there too

I hope you feel me cause I, been through the pain

There ain't a difference, you and I are the same

Homie I was

Right there, right there, right there, right there

I was right there where you are I can't forget that I was

Right there, right there, right there, right there

Now I'm reaching for the stars but I remember I was

Right there, right there, right there

Homie I was

Right there, right there, right there

Getting money

Right there, right there, right there

Born and raised

Right there, right there, right there

Homie I was

Right there, right there, right there, right there

I was right there where you are I can't forget that I was

Right there, right there, right there, right there

Now I'm reaching for the stars but I remember I was

Right there, right there, right there

Homie I was

Right there, right there, right there

Getting money

Right there, right there, right there

Born and raised

Right there, right there, right there

This song basically describes a tormented relationship where you're hurting instead of loving. The message seems positive, but hides a deeper issue. Ariana's point of view in this song, is that she treats her relationships like replaceable things and not like unique people: there's a million you's baby boy. Life definitely gets simpler when you don't have to worry about that person anymore.
