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

truth 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 the way that

I wanna live

They can't tell me

what to do

Don't get me wrong

I'm really not souped

Ego trips

are not my thing

All these

strange relationships

It really gets me down

I see nothing wrong

spreading 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

They 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 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
