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
I don't need permission,
make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
That's my prerogative
it's my prerogative
It's 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
All these strange relationships
really gets me down
I see nothing wrong in
spreading myself around
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative That's my prerogative

That's my prerogative That's my prerogative
It's the way that I wanna 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

Why don't they just let me live?
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 they say I'm used to
I don't need permission,
make my own decisions
