My Prerogative
Britney Spears Lyrics
People can take everything away from you
But they can never take away your truth
But the question is, can you handle mine?
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 boys is how I live
Why am I so real?
But they don't understand me
I really don't know the deal
About my sister
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago
Before I won this fight
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
(Oh)
That's my prerogative
(That's my prerogative)
It's my prerogative
It's the way that I wanna live
(It's my prerogative)
But you can't tell me what to do
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
Spreadin' myself around
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
(Oh)
That's my prerogative
(That's my prerogative)
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
(Oh)
That's my prerogative
(That's my prerogative)
It's the way that I wanna live
(It's my prerogative)
But you can't tell me what to do
Why can't I live my life
Without all of the things
That people say?
Oh
(Oh)
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
(Oh)
That's my prerogative
(They said I'm crazy)
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
(Tell me why)
(They say I'm nasty)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
(Oh)
That's my prerogative
(That's my prerogative)

People can take everything away from you
But they can never take away your truth
But the question is
Can you handle mine?
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 boys 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 my sisters
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago, before I won this fight
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

It's the way that I want to live
(It's my prerogative)
But, you can't tell me what to do
Don't get me wrong, I'm really not souped
Ego trips is not my thing
These strange relationships really gets me down
I see nothing wrong spreading myself around

So sad that this isn’t just a fun song for her but a literal foreshadowing of her current life. Hope she gets to live freely once again.
Prossi

@Flyguy4500 well for everyone I know, the teen years were not their best unless they didn't plan well. Just saying based on my experience and experiences of those I know.

@Esmerelda 2548 I disagree, they can have a good future while still enjoying the teen years more. Just because one section of life might be regarded as their best doesn’t mean the rest is bad.
