Get busy!
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need commission, make my own decisions
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
I really don't know the deal about her brother
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago
Before I win this fight, sing
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
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
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 in spreading myself around
I can do what I wanna do (it's my prerogative)
I can live my life (it's my prerogative)
And 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
That people say oh
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 talkin' all this stuff about me (everybody talkin')
Why don't they just let me live (why)
(Why don't they just let me live girl)
I don't need permission (I don't need permission from nobody)
Make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (everybody's talkin')
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission (I don't need)
Make my own decisions (my own decisions)
That's my prerogative
What is this a Bizzit 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
Hey, listen, lemme tell you something
This is my prerogative
I can do what I want to 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
It's my prerogative, can't you see baby, don't
