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 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 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-
That'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
In spreading
myself around
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-
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 the way
that I wanna live
It's my prerogative
You can't tell me
what to do
Why can't I live my life-
Without all
of the things
That people say-
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-
(they say I'm crazy)
Everybody's talking
all this stuff
About me
why don't they
Just let me live
(they say I'm used to)
I don't need
permission
Make my own decisions
that's my prerogative
It's my prerogative
