Get busy
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 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 a brother trying hard to make it right
Not long ago, before I really spied
Sing
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 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 really not the suit
Evil tricks is not my thang
All these strange relationships really gets me down
I see nothing wrong with spreading myself around
Sing
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 prerogative
It's my prerogative
I can do what I wanna do
It's my prerogative
I can live my life
It's my prerogative
I'm doing it just for you
It's my prerogative
Tell me, tell me
Why can't I live my life?
Without all of the thangs that people say
Yo, Teddy, kick it like this
Oh, no, no
I can do what I want to do, me and you
Together, together, together, together, together
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 prerogative
What is this a blizzard, 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 talking 'bout this person
Hey, let me tell ya something this is my prerogative
I can do what I want with it
I made this money, you didn't, right Ted, we out of here
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
It's my prerogative
It's my preroaah
It's my, it's my, my, my
It's my prerogative, can't you see, baby doll? Ha
Why you wanna talk about me?
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
