"I can't take no more"

"I can't take no more."

I have seen it in a song and I was wondering if "I can't take any more" is correct or is there a meaning difference between them?

Thank you so much as usual in advance.

1) I can't take any more.
2) I can't take it any more.

Is there a meaning difference between them? I think they might be

1)' I can't take any more money.
2)' I can't take money (=it) any more.

Or do you have different thoughts? And is there a meaning difference?

Thank you so much!

This is an idiom. It means, "I am sick and tired of this situation and do not wish to endure it any longer."
