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, N-Y-C
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.

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 take me as I am,
Or have nothing at all.
Just take me as I am,
Or have nothing at all.

[Repeat: x2]
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)

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.
