[Intro] Get busy! [Chorus] Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me (Now now) Why don't they just let me live? (Ooh) I don't need permission, make my own decisions (Oh!) That's my prerogative [Verse 1] 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 Gettin' girls is how I live Some ask me questions, why am I so real? But they don't understand me Or really don't know the deal about a brother Tryin' hard to make it right Not long ago, before I win this fight (Sing) [Chorus] Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live?
