[Intro]
No, no
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

[Chorus]
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 (Oh)
That's my prerogative
(It's my prerogative)
It's my prerogative
(It's the way that I wanna live)
It's my prеrogative
(I can do just what I feel)
It's my prerogative
(No onе can tell me what to do)
It's my prerogative
('Cause what I'm doing, I'm doing for you now)
[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

[Chorus]
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me (Everybody's talking, yeah)
Why don't they just let me live (Tell me why)
I don't need permission (I don't need)
Make my own decisions (My own decisions)
That's my prerogative
(It's my prerogative)
(I can do what I wanna do)
It's my prerogative
(I can live my life)
It's my prerogative
(I'm doing it just for you)
It's my prerogative
(Tell me, tell me)

[Bridge]
Why can't I live my life (Live my life)
Without all of the things that people say, oh oh oh Lord
Yo Teddy, kick it like this
Oh no no
I can do what I wanna do
Me and you
Together, together, together, together, together
Everybody's talking
Oh, why don't they just let me live, girl
I don't permission from nobo-ha-ha-ha-dy, yeah
Everybody's talking, now
I don't need, my own decisions, oh
[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, it's my, it's my, it's my
It's my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
It's my...WOO!
