They think you're an angel, a heart of gold
 I must be a real bad girl to treat you so
 You painted a picture, put me in the frame
 Now you get sympathy and I get all the blame

 Fooled all of our friends
 Fine, you can have them
 Hours or days, though I don't know when

 Time will tell
 Yeah, you may have got it full now
 But you gon' mess up somehow
 Time will tell
 Even though the fact is you play ghetto tactics
 Served you well
 I've seen the side that you hide nobody knows
 But it's gon' show, it's gon' show

 I call you Mr. Blanks, you're so see-through
 But I'm unbreakable when [bad word] to you
 So do your worst, I'll [bad word] first
 Cause one day it's gonna hurt
 You'll get what you deserve

 Time will tell
 Yeah, you may have got it full now
 But you gon' mess up somehow
 Time will tell
 Even though the fact is you play ghetto tactics
 Served you well
 I've seen the side that you hide nobody knows
 But it's gon' show, it's gon' show

 One day you're gonna push the line just a little
 Caught between your lies and the [bad word] in the middle
 Gonna see the face that you hid so well

 Time will tell
 Yeah, you may have got it full now
 But you gon' mess up somehow
 Time will tell
 Even though the fact is you play ghetto tactics
 Served you well
 I've seen the side that you hide nobody knows
 But it's gon' show, it's gon' show

 Time will tell, (time will tell)
 Time will tell, (time will tell)
 Served you well, (time will tell)
 Time will tell, (time will tell)
 Time will tell
