Take Me As I Am

[Verse 1]

She's been down and out

She's been wrote about

She's been talked about constantly

She's been up and down

She's been pushed around

But they held her down, NYC

She has no regrets

She accepts the past

All these things they helped to make she

She's been lost and found

And she's still around

There's a reason for everything (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]

You know I've been holding on

Try to make me weak but I still stay strong

Put my life all up in these songs

Just so you can feel me

So you can get the rеal me

[Chorus]

So take me as I am (Takе me as I am)

Or have nothing at all (Nothing at all)

Just take me as I am

Or have nothing at all (Nothing at all)

[Verse 2]

Yes, she's older now

Yes, she's wiser now

Can't disguise her now

She don't need no one tellin' her

What to do and say

No one tellin' her who to be

She's on solid ground

She's been lost and found

Now she answers to G-O-D

And she's confident this is not the end

Ask me how I know 'cause she is me (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]

You know I've been holdin' on (I've been holdin' on)

Try to make me weak but I still stay strong (Stay strong)

Put my life all up in these songs

Just so you can feel me

So you can get the real me

[Chorus]

So take me as I am

Or have nothing at all (At all)

Just take me as I am (As I am)

Or have nothing (Or nothing, baby) at all (This is me, this is me)

[Bridge]

So it's all or nothing at all

All or nothing at all

Don't you know I can only be me?

(I can only be me, yeah, I can only be me)

So it's all or nothing at all

All or nothing at all

Don't you know I can only be me?

(I can only be me, yeah)

[Chorus]

So take me as I am

Or have nothing at all

Just take me as I am

(I can only be me, yeah, I can only be me, yeah)

Or have nothing at all

(So take me, take me as I am or have nothing at all)

[Outro]

Take me as I am (Take me)

Take me as I am

Said it's all or nothing at all

Said it's all or nothing at all

Just take me as I am (Yeah)

Or have nothing at all

(Or nothing, baby, this is me, this is me)

Just take me as I am (Take me as I am)

Or have nothing, nothing at all (Take me as I am)

Just take me as I am (Take me as I am)

Or have nothing, nothing

Take me as I am
