As I Am (feat. Shianne Phillips)

Take me as I am

Or you can have nothing

Nothing at all

Never understood why

Discrimination existed

Amongst us people when

All of us wanted to be

Taken equal not for the

Color of our skin or the

Fact that we fit in criteria

Should be based of whats in

The heart mind and soul and where

We want to go cause if we caught

In the past how we gonna reach our goals

People be so concerned about the cons

Instead of the pros that the preconceived

Notations be blocking out of my flows

They be acting like they know so they real

Quick to throw it out to term about a kid

Or the numbers in his bank account I'd

Appreciate it if you listen then open ya

Mouth feel alot better if you knew what

You was talking 'bout just a youngin

Grindin feeling inside that he hasn't

Got his point across after he moved his

Tums ? tellin people he's a normal kid

Following dreams aposed to

So why don't you take me

As I am or you can have nothing at all

So take me as I am or have nothing at all

Just looking around at all the people

That's around no of em was with me though

Months ago but tellin me now the way

I should go or the things that I should put

Out when its expression to me you can't tell

Me how the ways the ropes or being the

D- I- double g - Y the little nigga that's known to be fly

But alot of the time he just gotta swallow

His pride despite of all the people that's

Making him feel deprived of a fair shot just

Because of where he came from labeling

What I am when you ain't even hear a taste of ?

I done heard it all so ya 2 cents won't hurt none

And I know that I'ma keep going with it

And I know the ridicule I'm rolling with it as long

As I'm taking for who I am and where I'm going

That's whats important to my time

So why don't you take me

As I am or you can have nothing at all

So take me as I am or have nothing at all
