Текст песни
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 sisters
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?
(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 want to live
(It's my prerogative)
But, you can't tell me what to do
(It's my prerogative)
It's the way that I want to live
(It's my prerogative)
Don't get me wrong, I'm really not souped
Ego trips is not my thing
These strange relationships really gets me down
I see nothing wrong spreading myself around
Everybody's talking 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!
Everybody's talking 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 the way that I want to 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
Everybody's talking 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
