Text: New Edition. All the Number Ones. My Perogative.

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me now
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 messy 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 commission
Make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
It's my prerogative

It's the way that I wanna live
I can do just what I feel
No one can tell me what to do
'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


Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
Tell me why I don't need commission
Make my own decisions
That's my prerogative

It's my prerogative
I can do what I wanna do
I can live my life
And I'm doing it just for you

Tell me, tell me
Why can't I live my life?
Without all of the things
That people say

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 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

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
It's my prerogative
