[Chorus]
Take me for what I am
Take nothing at all
I never needed a favor
I needed nothing at all, nothing at all

Take me for what I am
Take nothing at all
I never needed a favor
I needed nothing at all, at all, at all

[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a kid, I always knew that nothing comes easy
And when I grow to be a man, I always knew that nothing come easy
Get out before it blows
Pour it before it's hot
That’s how the story goes
I ain't looking for a yes or no

[Chorus]
Take me for what I am
Take nothing at all
I never needed a favor
I needed nothing at all, at all, at all

[Bridge]
(Mm-ah!)
(Mm-ah!)
(Mm-ah!)
(Mm-ah!)
(Mm-ah!)
(Mm-ah!)
(Mm-ah!)

[Verse 2]
I ain't lookin’ for the down low, I ain't lookin' for approval
I ain't lookin' at a bloodline, I just walkin' on my own line
Get out before it blows
Pour it before it's hot
That's how the story goes
I ain’t looking for a yes or no

[Outro]
Take me for what I am
Take me for what I am
Take me for what I am
Take me for what I am
