The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time too precious and my patience thin
My mind and my soul is the weapon
And every failure was a lesson
It's time to stop blocking these blessings
See, I just wanna grow into my greatness
I wish I had the time that you've taken
'Cause I got needs, yeah, I got needs
I want war, but I need peace
And they kept on calling me crazy
But maybe that's how God made me
Take a look at what you made me
Calling me crazy, that's what you made me
Look at the mess I got myself in (Ooh)
I don't wanna get numb to the feeling
Will all of my sins be forgiven?
Hope you pin me to the wall like a painting (Ooh)
I just want a kiss on my neck, warm
I just want some head and a few wet kisses
To make it all better
Ripped up my old love letters
Tick tock, you got me fed up
Used up your chances, held my heart for ransom
And now a new man treat me better than you did
Get my pussy wetter than you did
You know it could have been you and me
That's all that I wanted it to be
That's all that I wanted it to be
But I got needs, yeah, I got needs
I want war, but I need peace
And you kept on calling me crazy
But, baby, that's what you made me
Take a look at what you made me
Calling me crazy, that's what you made me
