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 talkin' 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
Its 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
Fuck all these strange relationships
It really gets me down
See nothing wrong spread myself around
Everybody's talkin' 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 talkin' 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
Its 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
Ohhhhh
Oh
Everybody's talkin' 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 Say I'm crazy) Everybody's talkin' 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 (ahhh)
