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 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? (Everybody)
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 in spreading myself around
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (Everybody)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions (Oh!)
That's my prerogative
That's my prerogative
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (Everybody)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions (Oh!)
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? (Everybody)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions (Oh!)
That's my prerogative (They say I'm crazy)
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (Everybody)
(They say I'm nasty)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions (Oh!)
That's my prerogative
(It's my prerogative)
