[Intro]
People can take everything away from you
But they can never take away your truth
But the question is
Can you handle mine?
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Break]
It's the way that I want to live (it's my prerogative)
You can’t tell me what to do
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus] X2
[Break]
[Bridge]
Why can't I live my life
Without all of the things
That people say
Oh oh
[Chorus] x2
