My Prerogative

Bobby Brown

Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me.
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission, (i) make my own decisions.
That's my prerogative. (that's my prerogative)
It's my prerogative. it's the way I wanna live.
It's my prerogative. you can't tell me what to do.

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 am.
Some ask me questions. "why am I so real?"
But they don't understand me.
I really don't know the deal about our brother.
I'm tryin' hard to make it right.
Not long ago before I won this fight.
