My Prerogative

SPOKEN :
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]
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
Spreadin' 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

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 ?
Ohoh...
[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 (aaaahhh)

It's my prerogative
