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
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? (tell me why)
I don't need permission
Make my own descisions (oh)
That's my prerogative

That's my prerogative

[It's my prerogative]

Its the way that I wanna live

[It's my prerogative]

They 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
It really gets me down
I see nothing wrong
Spreading Myself Around

Repeat (**)
