Lyrics
[Verse 1]
People can take everything away from you
But they can never take away your truth
But the question is
Can you handle mine?
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Tryin' hard to make it right
Not long ago, before I won this fight
[Verse 4]
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)
[Verse 5]
It's my prerogative
It's the way that I wanna live (It's my prerogative)
You can't tell me what to do
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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? (Tell me why)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions (Oh!)
That's my prerogative (That's my prerogative)
[Verse 8]
It's the way that I wanna live (It's my prerogative)
You can't tell me what to do
[Verse 9]
Why can't I live my life
Without all of the things that people say?
Oh, oh
[Verse 10]
(Oh!) 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
[Verse 11]
(They say I'm crazy) Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (Tell me why)
(They say I'm nasty) I don't need permission, make my own decisions (Oh!)
That's my prerogative
It's my prerogative
