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 Getting girls 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
[Chorus:]
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? I don't need permission, make my own decisions 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 in spreading myself around
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? I don't need permission, make my own decisions That's my prerogative That's my prerogative
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? I don't need permission, make my own decisions That's my prerogative that's my prerogative
It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative) You can't tell me what to do
why can't I live my life without all of the things That people say oh oh
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? I don't need permission, make my own decisions That's my prerogative
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? I don't need permission, make my own decisions That's my prerogative (it's my prerogative)
