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 help to make she

She's been lost and found

But she's still around

There's a reason for everything, yeah



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 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



v 2



Yeah she's older now

Yeah she's wiser now

Can't disguise her now, she don't need

No one telling her what to do and say

No one telling her who to be

She's on solid ground

She's been lost and found

But 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 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 real me



Chorus



So take me as I am

As I am

Or have nothing at all

Nothing Baby

This is me, this is me





Bridge



So its all or nothing or all

All Or nothing at all

Don't you know I can only be me, yeah (i can only be me)

So its all or nothing at all

All Or nothing at all

Don't you know I can only be me, (I can only be me)



So take me as I am

Or have nothing at all

Just take me as I am

This is me, this is me

Or have nothing at all

Take me as I am
