[Verse 1]
I've spent time loving
Things that I don't love no more
Long time coming
I don't wanna wait anymore
Always rushing
Just so I get left behind
Always cussing
That's just me speaking my mind
I can't stop complaining
Everything just gets on my nerves
Always raining
What's going on in my world?
I'm so impatient
I can't wait 'till it's my turn
So close to breaking
For all these lessons I learned

[Chorus]
I want what I want
And I need it right now
If you don't give it it up
Imma take it with a smile
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal

[Post-Chorus]
I don't wanna be a criminal
Take 'em back

[Verse 2]
I ain't done talking
I think that you gone hear me today
I'm done chasing
All them carrots that you place in my face
What was you bagging?
You must think that I'm blind or I'm dumb
What was you drinking?
Tryin' to play me like you get it, you don't
Fresh out of patience
I think I waited just long enough
Now it's time to take it
I told you that I need all I want
Now I'm back complaining
Take a look at what you got done
Done, done, done, done

[Chorus]
I want what I want
And I need it right now
If you don't give it it up
Imma take it with a smile
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal

[Bridge]
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal

I'm gone take it, take it, take it
I'm gone take it, take it
Take it baby
Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it
Take it baby
Yea (yea)
Yea (yea)
Yea (yea)
You gotta give it or I'm coming to get it
Oh, I said you leave me no
I said you leave me no

[Chorus]
I want what I want
And I need it right now
If you don't give it it up
Imma take it with a smile
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal

[Outro]
I want what I want
And I need it right now
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal (I don't wanna be a criminal)
Oh, I don't wanna be a criminal
Ah, I don't wanna be a criminal, oh yea
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna be a criminal
I don't wanna be a, yea
