20 mins confidence:

I will take my revenge on you/I will take what's mine

Explanation:
More context is needed as this expression might have different meanings according to context.
If it is said in a threatening context where the speaker was wronged by the other party and the speaker is talking about getting back at the other party, then I believe it means I will take my revenge on you.
If the speaker is talking about retrieving something that was taken from them, then I believe it means I will get back what's mine.
I hope this helps

I'm gonna get what's mine / I'll take what's mine

Explanation:
I would need to see the larger context to be 100% certain, but in colloquial English we would probably use the contractions "I'll" and "what's" to say this easily and quickly, giving the phrase a swift aggressive tone.

Example sentence(s):

I'm gonna get what's mine! Whatever it takes!
I'll take what's mine! You'll see!
