Chorus 1:
/
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 preroga-tive.
Verse 1:
/
They say I'm crazy, I really don't care;
That's my preroga-tive.
/
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; I really don't know the deal.
/
About a brother, trying hard to make it right,
Not long ago before, I won this fight, sing;
Chorus 2:

It's my pre-rogative; it's the way that I wanna live.
It's my pre-rogative; I can do just what I feel.

It's my pre-rogative;
'Cos what I'm doin', I'm doin' for you, uh!

Don't get me wrong; I'm really not zooped,
Ego trips is not my thing.

All these strange relationships, really gets me down,
I see nothin' wrong, with spreading myself around, sing;

'Cos what I'm doin', I'm doin' for you. Tell me...
