My Prerogative

[Spoken:]

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

Gettin' boys is how I live.

Some messy questions

Why did'nt i say ya

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.

[Chorus]:

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

That’s my prerogative.

(That’s my prerogative)

(It’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

Spreading myself around.

[Chorus x2]

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?

(Oh!)

[Chorus:]

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

That’s my prerogative.

(They say I'm crazy)

Everybody is 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

That’s my prerogative.

It's my Prerogative.
