Take Me As I Am Lyrics

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.
You know I've been holding on (Hmmm)
Try to make me weak but I still stayed strong (Yeah)

Put my life all up in these songs.
Just so you can feel me.
So you can get the real me.
So take me as I am.(Take me as I am)
Or have nothing at all.(Ohh, nothing at all)

Just take me as I am.(Yeah)
Or have nothing at all.(Or have nothing)
(At all)
Yes, she's older now.
Yes, 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.
Now she answers to G-O-D.
And she's confident.
This is not the end.
Ask me how I know cuz she is me, yeah.
You know I've been holding on.(I've been holding on)
Try to make me weak but I still stayed strong.(Stayed strong)
Put my life all up in these songs.
Just so you can feel me.
(So you can get the real me.)
So take me as I am.(Hey)
Or have nothing at all.(Or have nothing at all)

Just take me as I am.(Ohhh, as I am)
Or have nothing at all.(Or nothing baby, this is me)
(This is me)
So it's all or nothing at all.
All or nothing at all.(All or nothing)

Don't you know I can only be me? (I can only be me)
Yeah. (I can only be me)
So it's all or nothing at all. (Ohhh)
All or nothing at all. (Oh, all or nothing)
Don't you know I can only be me? (I can only be me)

...
this is me
(Yeah, take me yeah)
So take me as I am.(As I am)
Or have nothing at all.(Or have nothing)
Just take me as I am.(I can only be me, yeah)(I can only be me, yeah)
Or have nothing at all.(So take me, take me as I am)
(Or have nothing at all)
...

Mary Jane Blige (born January 11, 1971 in Bronx, New York, United States), spent the first few years of her life in Savannah, GA, before moving with her mother and older sister to the Schlobam housing projects in Yonkers, New York). Some of her best known songs are Real Love, No More Drama, Family Affair, Be Without You, I'm goin' down, One, Work that, Mr. Wrong, As, Therapy, Right Now; the latest two included on her thirteenth studio album, "The London Sessions" released in 2014.

Her 1992 debut album, "What's The 411?" was recorded with Sean "Puffy" Combs, Dave Hall, Mark Morales and Mark Rooney. It was followed by "My Life" in 1994. "Share My World" marked the beginning of Blige's creative partnerships with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in 1997. Her fourth album, "Mary", was released in 1999, aided by material from Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Stevie Wonder, and Lauryn Hill.

After "No more drama" (2001), she reunited in 2003 with Diddy who produced the majority of the "Love & Life" album (2003). "The Breakthrough" followed two years later. 2006 saw the release of "Reflections (A Retrospective)". Her ninth studio album, "Stronger With Each Tear", was released in 2009. That same year Blige's own imprint, Matriarch Records was born. "My Life II... The Journey Continues (Act 1)" (2011) was followed by "A Mary Christmas" in 2013.

In July 2014, it was announced Blige would move to London to record her thirteenth studio album with a host of young British acts, including Disclosure, Naughty Boy, Sam Romans, Emeli Sandé, Sam Smith and writers Eg White, Jimmy Napes, M.J. Cole. The results were the ten new songs included on "The London Sessions".
