Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the phrase you are referring to is "supposed to be". This phrase can be used to say things like "should be", "need to be", "should be", or " have to be".
For example: "It's 9:00 AM, you're supposed to be at work already!"
"I bought this dress on the internet but it is the wrong color, it is supposed to be red, not black"
"You are supposed to be respectful to your parents".
I hope this helps!
