As I Am

(album: As I Am - 2022)

[Jonathan McReynolds:]
Like a rose to a thorn, here I stand
And if the sun doesn't shine, that's God's plan
When I'm not perfect in your eyes, might not understand
Oh, take me as, as I am
Oh, take me as, as I am
Oh, take me as I am

[1K Phew:]
That's all I really need man, like
Don't act like you don't see me (Come on)
When I sit back and just watch, looking at God's plan
You'd shoot dice with three mice, I was a blind man
Tryna test me, need to finish your assignment
How you gon' talk to me with no bars? You got Verizon
You ain't know I got Jesus on the main line? Let me merge this line, then
I'ma go on and chime in
Made it out that trap house to that church house, perfect timing
From taking out that safe, now I'm getting baptized, that's offering

He done washed away my sins
In the church, singing "Little Light of Mine," had to Cartier my lens (My lens)
I been tryna keep this joy inside, 'cause I done lost most of my friends (I done lost 'em)
Bringing back the old me is too toxic (Too toxic)
But I ain't had no options

[Jonathan McReynolds:]
Like a rose to a thorn, here I stand
And if the sun doesn't shine, that's God's plan
When I'm not perfect in your eyes, might not understand
Oh, take me as, as I am
Oh, take me as, as I am
Oh, take me as I am, oh, oh

[1K Phew:]
'Cause I need you (Yeah, I need that)
Please, take me as I am before the police do
Made it out the streets and you the only ones I can speak to
You ain't gotta pay for it, no matter how they treat you
Fell to my knees, that's on God, He won't leave you, leave you falling (Fall)
Tell the truth, no cap, God's been good on my hand (Too good)
I was in way too deep, had to start all over again (Too deep)
Like, nah, I can't pretend (Like, nah), I ain't lukewarm, all in (Yeah)

He done washed away my sins
In the church, singing "Little Light of Mine," had to Cartier my lens
I been tryna keep this joy inside, 'cause I done lost most of my friends (I lost friends)
Bringing back the old me is too toxic
But I ain't had no options, no, no, no

[Jonathan McReynolds:]
Like a rose to a thorn, here I stand
And if the sun doesn't shine, well, that's God's plan
When I'm not perfect in your eyes, oh, I might not understand
Ooh-ooh, take me as, as I am
Oh-oh-oh-oh, take me as, as I am
Oh-oh-oh, take me as I am, oh Lord, oh

[1K Phew:]
I gotta take me, man
Nah, for real, I ain't putting on for nobody, like
For the street or the Church
It's like, I'm following my purpose, I'm following what God got for me
When he gave me my calling, it wasn't no conference call, it was just for me
But you still gotta take me, take me as I am
