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 sisters
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
That"s my prerogative
That"s my prerogative
It"s the way that I want to live
(It"s my prerogative)
But, you can"t tell me what to do
(It"s my prerogative)
It"s the way that I want to live
(It"s my prerogative)
Don"t get me wrong, I"m really not souped
Ego trips is not my thing
These strange relationships really gets me down
I see nothing wrong spreading 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
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
That"s my prerogative
That"s my prerogative
It"s the way that I want to 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
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
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?
(Tell me why)
I don"t need permission, make my own decisions
That"s my prerogative
It"s my prerogative
