People can take everything away from you
They cant 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 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 talking 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 perogative
It's the way that I wanna live
[it's my prerogative]
But 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 talking 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 perogative]
Everybody's talking 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 perogative]
It's the way that I wanna live
[it's my prerogative]
But you can't tell me what to do
Why can't I live my life
Without all of the things
That people say
oooh.
[ oh ! ]
Everybody's talking 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
[they said im crazy]
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
[ tell me why ]
[ they say im nasty ]
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
[ oh ! ]
That's my prerogative
[that's my perogative]
