Cook that shit up, Quay
TK Kravitz
2 The Hard Way
Marlo, Lil Baby
Let 'em know

You might say that you love me, but I know that you lyin'
But I'm fuckin' with you, yeah
You done crossed me one time and I took you back time after time, oh yeah
Time after time, time after time after time, oh yeah
I swear it's time after time, time after time after time, oh yeah

Here we go again, listenin' to your friends
They ain't the one sleeping with me, they ain't got that new Benz
Know you probably tired of my lies
Know you probably think that you can find another guy but not this fly
I'm like why you listen to that bullshit that they put in your ear?
I'm the same one that dropped a dub and put it in your ear
He say she say every other day, I know you tired of it
Just be honest, you knew what it was when you signed up
I can't 'pologize enough
This what we gon' do, just get my things and pack 'em up
I'm so through with you, I don't know what to do
Probably lose my cool
I can't see me in no prison, I got shit to lose

You might say that you love me, but I know that you lyin'
But I'm fuckin' with you, yeah
You done crossed me one time and I took you back time after time, oh yeah
Time after time, time after time after time, oh yeah
I swear it's time after time, time after time after time, oh yeah

You keep startin' this bullshit, so I'ma let you go
Fuck it, find another ho, I got a bitch to play your role
And you keep telling me that you really love me
You put no one above me
And I know you're in your feelings
I know you caught me down bad, I was trippin'
I was caught up in the hype, fuckin' bitches
Bae do I ever come up in your dreams?
When I'm buying you all these fuckin' designer things
And I'm giving you the world on everything
And it's me and you against the world, bae you dog
Back to back in them halls
You shittin' on bitches, fuck the law
And I know you get tired of them lies, I can see it in your eyes, yeah
I know you really fuckin' with me

You might say that you love me, but I know that you lyin'
But I'm fuckin' with you, yeah
You done crossed me one time and I took you back time after time, oh yeah




Time after time, time after time after time, oh yeah
I swear it's time after time, time after time after time, oh yeah

Overall Meaning

In the song "Time" by Marlo featuring Lil Baby, the lyrics delve into a tumultuous relationship filled with mistrust and repetition of mistakes. The first verse suggests that the singer knows their partner is lying about loving them but continues to engage in the relationship despite being aware of the deception. There is a sense of resignation and acceptance of the cyclical nature of their interactions, as depicted by the repetition of the phrase "time after time."


The lyrics continue to explore the dynamics of the relationship, with the singer acknowledging their own faults and past actions that have caused pain to their partner. There is a hint of defensiveness as the singer questions why their partner listens to the negative influences around them instead of trusting in their love. The mention of material gifts like a new Benz and financial gestures indicate an attempt to compensate for the emotional strain within the relationship.


As the song progresses, tensions escalate, and the singer contemplates ending the toxic cycle. The decision to let go and find someone else to fill their partner's role signifies a breaking point in the relationship. Despite professing love and loyalty, there is a realization that actions speak louder than words, leading to a desire for a fresh start without the baggage of past transgressions.


The chorus encapsulates the conflicting emotions of the singer: on one hand, recognizing the falsehood in their partner's declarations of love, and on the other hand, being unable to completely detach from the connection they share. The repetition of "time after time" reinforces the inevitability of repeating the same patterns unless a definitive change is made. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of inner turmoil and uncertainty about the future of the relationship, highlighting the complexities of love, trust, and self-preservation.

Let 'em know
Sharing our thoughts and feelings through this song


Here we go again, listenin' to your friends
Back to dealing with the influence of your friends on our relationship


They ain't the one sleeping with me, they ain't got that new Benz
Your friends don't know our intimate relationship or lifestyle


Know you probably tired of my lies
You must be exhausted from dealing with my deceit


Know you probably think that you can find another guy but not this fly
You may believe you can do better than me, but no one as stylish as me


I'm like why you listen to that bullshit that they put in your ear?
Why do you believe the gossip and misinformation from others?


I'm the same one that dropped a dub and put it in your ear
I'm the one who gave you money and spoiled you with gifts


He say she say every other day, I know you tired of it
Dealing with constant rumors and drama must wear you out


Just be honest, you knew what it was when you signed up
You were aware of what our relationship entailed from the start


I can't 'pologize enough
I can't say sorry to you too many times


This what we gon' do, just get my things and pack 'em up
Let's end this, gather my belongings and leave


I'm so through with you, I don't know what to do
I'm completely done with you, feeling lost


Probably lose my cool
I might end up losing my temper


I can't see me in no prison, I got shit to lose
I can't imagine being in jail, I have too much to lose


You keep startin' this bullshit, so I'ma let you go
You continuously cause problems, so I will end our relationship


Fuck it, find another ho, I got a bitch to play your role
I don't care, find someone else, I have a replacement lined up


And you keep telling me that you really love me
You keep insisting that you love me


You put no one above me
You claim no one is more important to you than me


And I know you're in your feelings
I can tell you're emotional


I know you caught me down bad, I was trippin'
I know I made a mistake, I was acting foolish


I was caught up in the hype, fuckin' bitches
I got carried away with the excitement, being unfaithful


Bae do I ever come up in your dreams?
Do I ever appear in your dreams, babe?


When I'm buying you all these fuckin' designer things
Even when I spoil you with expensive, designer gifts


And I'm giving you the world on everything
I'm providing you with everything you could want


And it's me and you against the world, bae you dog
It's us against the world, babe, you're strong


Back to back in them halls
Together through thick and thin


You shittin' on bitches, fuck the law
You're outdoing other girls, laws don't apply to us


And I know you get tired of them lies, I can see it in your eyes, yeah
I see that you're fed up with the dishonesty, it shows in your eyes


I know you really fuckin' with me
I know you genuinely care about me
