Everyone said I was a strong willed child

But I was just developing my own style

Why pay a price being independent

If the rule won't break I'm going to bend it

I'm soft like a woman

Strong like a man

Easy to love and hard to understand

This is me take it or leave it

My homegirl you better believe it

What you see is what I am and who I want to be

This is me

Never been afraid to speak my mind

Lay my heart out on the line

I've had my share of wrong directions

Ya but everybodies got a few imperfections

Spend alot of time getting this way

And baby im never going to change

This is me take it or leave it

My homegirl you better believe it

What you see is what I am and who I want to be

This is me

Why would I want to be anyone else

When it feels so good just being myself

This is me take it or leave it

My homegirl you better believe it

What you see is what I am and who I want to be

This is me

This is me
