[Intro] People can take everything away from you But they can never take away your truth But the question is Can you handle mine?
[Verse 1] 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 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
[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)
[Break] It's the way that I want to live (it's my prerogative) You can’t tell me what to do
[Verse 2] 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
[Chorus] X2
[Break]
[Bridge] Why can't I live my life Without all of the things That people say Oh oh
