Brii Elliss - Take Me Or Leave Me Lyrics

Written By: Darius Coleman, Brianne Hanafin & Adeniyi Adelekan

So young and so small
Wanting and reaching for it all
Nothing could stop me
No insecurities
Never afraid to fall

But then small got big
And fear was a place I lived
Roommates with anxiety
Damaged by society
All of my dreams I'm questioning

Like what if they hate me
What if they don't like who I am
What if the play me
Don't validate me
Can I stand
All of the gossip
When I'm the topic
Didn't start this way
But I learned to say

Take me or leave me
Cuz I'm
I'm done competing
Know my value is real
It don't come with a price
If you feel how I feel
Listen to my advice

(Oh) Take me or leave me
Cuz I'm
I'm done completely
Put my heart on display
Lay it all on the line
Never loved me this way
Now I choose me every time

(Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)

Learning to silence the noise
Agreement's always a choice
I still have attachments
But I'm breaking habits
And discovering my voice

I'm standing on my own two feet now
My confidence almost complete now
It's a daily reminder
Use my pain as my power
I can take the heat now

Ain't thinking bout
What if they hate me
What if they don't like who I am
What if the play me
Don't validate me
Can I stand
All of the gossip
When I'm the topic
Didn't start this way
But I learned to say

Take me or leave me
Cuz I'm
I'm done competing
Know my value is real
It don't come with a price
If you feel how I feel
Listen to my advice

Oh Take me or leave me
Cuz I'm
I'm done completely
Put my heart on display
Lay it all on the line
Never loved me this way
Now I choose me every time

(Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)
(Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh)"
