[Chorus] Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (Now, now) Why don't they just let me live? (Ooh) I don't need permission, make my own decisions (Oh!) That's my prerogative [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 Gettin' 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, tryin' hard to make it right Not long to go, before I win this fight, sing [Chorus] 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 decisions (I don't need, my own decisions) That's my prerogative (It's my prerogative) [Post-Chorus] (It's my prerogative) I can do what I wanna do (It's my prerogative) Can live my life (It's my prerogative) I'm doin' it just for you (It's my prerogative) [Bridge] Tell me, tell me why can't I live my life (Live my life) Without all of the things that people say? [Interlude] Oh, oh, no Yo, Teddy! Kick it like this! Oh, no, no I can do what I wanna do, me and you Together, together, together, together, together [Chorus] Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (Everybody's talkin', oh) Why don't they just let me live?

I don't need permission, make my own decisions (I don't need permission from nobody) That's my prerogative (Yeah) Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (Everybody's talking) Why don't they just let me live?
