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 messy 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, sing
(Chorus)
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 (oh)
That's my prerogative
It's my prerogative (it's my prerogative)
It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative)
They can't tell me what to do (it's my prerogative)
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
(repeat chorus 2 times)
It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative)
You can't tell me what to do (it's my prerogative)
Why can't I live my life
Without all of the things
That people say oh!!!!!
(chorus)
