Is "take it now or leave it" an idiom? What does it mean?

The phrase "take it now or leave it", is not technically an idiom. However it is very similar to the idiom "take it or leave it", which is said to express that an offer someone has made is not negotiable and that the person is indifferent to another's reaction to it. In this song I believe they are simply changing up the idiom "take it or leave it" and that is what they mean. Ex: That's my offer, take it or leave it. Ex: Look, you can take it or leave it.
