My Prerogative

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, gettin' 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)

 Why can't I live my life
 Without all of the things that people say?
 Oh, oh
 (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 (it's my prerogative)
