[Intro]
It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative
It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative
It's my prerogative
Yo, what was that you said? (It's my prerogative)
Man, you frontin'
That's my prerogative
If I wanna do that, I can do what I wanna do
You understand what I'm saying? (It's my prerogative)
Listen, we can do this if we want
Tell you what
Yo Ted, get busy
Ooh, oh

[Verse 1]
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 girls is how I live
Some ask me questions
Why am I so real
But they don't understand me
Or really don't know the deal
About a brother
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago
Before I win this fight
Sing
Sing
Sing
Sing
Sing
Sing (It's my prerogative)
Sing (It's my prerogative)
Sing (It's my prerogative)
Sing (It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
Oh
[Verse 2]
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
With spreading myself around
Sing

[Bridge]
Sing
Sing
Sing
It's my prerogative (It's my prerogative)
Sing (I can live my life)
Sing (I'm doing it just for you)
Sing (Tell me, tell me why)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative) Oh oh
Yo Teddy, kick it like this
Together, together, together, together, together
Why don't they just let me live, girl
I don't need permission from nobo-ha-ha-ha-dy, yeah
Everybody's talking now
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)

[Outro]
What is this, a blizzard, that I can't have money in my pocket
And people not talk about me?
This world is a trip; I don't know what's going on these days
Got this person over here talking about me, this person
Ayy, listen, let me tell you something, it's my prerogative
I can do what I wanna do
I made this money, you didn't; right, Ted?
We outta here!
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
It's my prerogative, can't you see, baby doll?
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
Tell me why
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
Tell me, tell me (It's my prerogative)
Tell me, tell me (It's my prerogative)
Tell me why
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
Tell me, tell me (It's my prerogative)
Tell me, tell me (It's my prerogative)
Tell me why
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative, it's my prerogative)
(It's my prerogative)
