Take Me As I Am Mary J. Blige

[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 to make she
She's been lost and found
And she's still around
There's a reason for everything (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
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 (Take me as I am)
Or have nothing at all (Nothing at all)
Just take me as I am
Or have nothing at all (Nothing at all)
