TAKE ME AS I AM...

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 holding on.

Try to make me weak,

But i still stay strong.

Put My life all up in these songs 

So that you can feel me

so that you can get the real me

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

Cant disguise her now

She don't need

No one telling her

What to do or say

No one telling 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 holding on.

Try to make me weak,

But i still stay strong.

Put My life all up in these songs 

So that you can feel me

so that you can get the real me

So take me as i am, 

or have nothing at all.

Just take me as i am,

or have nothing at all.
