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]
They 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
It really gets me down
I see nothing wrong
Spreading 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 descisions (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 descisions (oh)
That s my prerogative
That s my prerogative
Its the way that I wanna live
[It s my prerogative]
They can t tell me what to do...
Why can t I live my life?
Without all of the things that people say?
Ohh...
[Shout]
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
(ahhh)That s my prerogative
