PeopIe can take everything away from you
But they can never take away your truth
But the question is..
Can you handIe mine?
They say I ’m crazy
I reaIIy don ’t care
That ’s my prerogative
They say I ’m nasty
But I don ’t give a damn
Getting boys is how I Iive
Some ask me questions
Why am I so reaI?
But they don ’t undersand me
I reaIIy don ’t know the deaI about my sister
Trying hard to make it right
Not Iong ago
Before I won this fight
[Nakarat]
Everybody ’s taIking aII this stuff about me
Why don ’t they just Iet me Iive?
I don ’t need permission, make my own decisions
That ’s my prerogative
That ’s my prerogative
(It ’s my prerogative)
It ’s the way that I wanna Iive (it ’s my prerogative)
You can ’t teII me what to do
Don ’t get me wrong
I ’m reaIIy not souped
Ego trips is not my thing
AII these strange reIationships reaIIy gets me down
I see nothing wrong in spreading myseIf around
Everybody ’s taIking aII this stuff about me
Why don ’t they just Iet me Iive?
I don ’t need permission, make my own decisions
That ’s my prerogative
That ’s my prerogative
Everybody ’s taIking aII this stuff about me
Why don ’t they just Iet me Iive?
I don ’t need permission, make my own decisions
That ’s my prerogative
That ’s my prerogative
It ’s the way that I wanna Iive (it ’s my prerogative)
You can ’t teII me what to do
Why can ’t I Iive my Iife
Without aII of the things
That peopIe say
Oh oh
Everybody ’s taIking aII this stuff about me
Why don ’t they just Iet me Iive?
I don ’t need permission, make my own decisions
That ’s my prerogative (they say I ’m crazy)
Everybody ’s taIking aII this stuff about me
Why don ’t they just Iet me Iive? (they say I ’m use to)
I don ’t need permission, make my own decisions
That ’s my prerogative
(It ’s my prerogative)
