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.
so you can get the real 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.
so you can get the real 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.

  83. C.... g....

    What is life Each challenge To overcome drinking or sin's that man introduced to Women Along with programming woman to see drs for pain Relief society choose No one is perfect but we all answer lives matter All When a man or woman uses mean words or hateful words such as you got fat to a woman or they look at a woman as a Trophy As woman get older they value themselves more and Can overcome all that hurt you in life and remember I see the revenge people hold in there eyes revenge always ends in failure Because eventually those that keep sin will Answer in Heaven So that good souls can have a peaceful planet earth. Stealing cheating and Lies will never make your souls free Live Honestly and Understand Why were all on Earth still learning this is our school that was already written in our names in the book of Lives in Heaven I don't hate SATAN because I know he has A Job As the Dark light As The Good souls must follow the 10 commandments no matter what religion or race

  84. C.... g....

    Rules In Heaven apply to All Humanity

  85. A.... C....

    I can only be me!
