People can take everything away from you
 But they can never take away your [bad word]  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 [bad word]  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
  [bad word] ]
 
Everybody's talking 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
 All these strange relationships really gets me down
 I see nothing wrong in spreading myself around
