"My Prerogative" Lyrics

It's my prerogative.
Get busy!

Everybody's talking that stuff about me. (Now, now.)
Why don't they just let me live? (Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions. (Oh.)
That's my prerogative.

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 know the deal
About a brother trying hard to make it right
Not long ago before I win this fight. Sing!

Everybody's talking all that 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 prerogative.) I can do just what I feel.
(It's my prerogative.) No one can tell me what to do,
(It's my prerogative.) 'Cause what I'm doing, I'm doing for you.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm really not souped.
Evil tricks is not my thing.
All these strange relationships really gets me down.
I see nothing wrong with spreading myself around. Sing!

Everybody's talking all that stuff about me.
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.
(It's my prerogative.) It's the way that I wanna live.
(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 why can't I live my life (Live my life)
Without all of the things people say.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
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 all that stuff about me.) Everybody's talking.
Why don't they just let me live?
Why don't they just let me live, girl?
(I don't need permission, make my own decisions.)
I don't need permission from nobo-o-o-ody. (That's my prerogative.)
(Everybody's talking all that stuff about me.) Everybody's talking.
Why don't they just let me live? (Now.)
(I don't need permission,) I don't need. (make my own decisions.)
My own decisions. (That's my prerogative.)
Huh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. (It's my prerogative.)

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!
Ay 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, (I don't need permission, make my own decisions.)
It's my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my...
(That's my prerogative.)
(It's my prerogative.) Whoo!
(It's my prerogative.) It's my prerogative. It's my prerogative.
It's my, it's my, my, my. (It's my...)
It's my prerogative, can't you see, baby doll?
Ha, why you wanna talk about me?
Tell me, tell me why...
