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 d___
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
Tryin' 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)
They 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
Will get me down
I see nothin' 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

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 perrogative

It's the way that I wanna live
(It's my perrogative)
You can't tell me what to do

Why can't I try to live my life
Without worry bout 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)
