Evil 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 talkin' 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 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
Fuck all these strange relationships
It really gets me down
See nothing wrong, spread myself around

Everybody's talkin' 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 talkin' 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
But you can't tell me what to do

Why can't I live my life
Without all of the things that people say?
Ohh!

Oh, everybody's talkin' 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 talkin' all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
(They say I'm nasty)
I don't need permission
Make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
It's my prerogative
