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.
