Mary J. Blige - Take Me As I Am lyrics

[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 make to make she She's been lost and found And she's still around There's a reason for everything You know I've been holdin on. Try to make me weak, But I still stay strong. Put my life all up in these songs Jus so you can feel me. [Chorus:] So take me as I am, or have nothing at all. Just take me as I am, or have nothing at all. [Verse 2:] Now 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. You know I've been holdin on. Try to make me weak, But I still stay strong. Put my life all up in these songs Jus so you can feel me. [Chorus:] So take me as I am, or have nothing at all. Just take me as I am, or have nothing at all. [Bridge: 2x] 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, or have nothing at all. Take me as I am. 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, or have nothing at all. (This is me) Just take me as I am, (take me as i am) or have nothing at all. Just take me as I am, (take me as i am) or have nothing, nothing at all. Take me as I am.
