My Prerogative

People can take everything away from you But they can never take away your truth But the question is Can you handle mine? They say I'm crazy I really don't care, that's my prerogative They say I'm nasty But I don't give a damn, gettin' boys is how I live Some ask me questions Why am I so real? But they don't understand me I really don't know the deal about my sister Trying hard to make it right Not long ago, before I won this fight Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? (Tell me why) I don't need permission, make my own decisions (oh) That's my prerogative (that's my prerogative) (It's my prerogative) It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative) You can't tell me what to do Don't get me wrong, I'm really not souped Ego trips is not my thing All these strange relationships really gets me down I see nothing wrong spreadin' myself around Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? (Tell me why) I don't need permission, make my own decisions (oh) That's my prerogative (that's my prerogative) Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live?
