My Prerogative

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?

(Tell me why)

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)

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 prerogative)

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 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?

Oh

(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 I'm crazy)

Everybody's talking 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

(That's my prerogative)
