Lyrics
[verse]
Everybody's got an opinion 'bout the way I live
Everybody's quick to judge, slow to forgive
I hear the whispers trailing everywhere I go
But none of them have walked a mile in what I know
I'll take the criticism, let it roll off clean
'Cause I know who I am even when I'm unseen
[chorus]
It's my prerogative to live it my own way
Not asking your permission for a single day
You can talk all you want, I'll still be me
Living loud and free is my prerogative, you'll see
My prerogative, my prerogative
I decide who I become, that's my prerogative
[verse]
They said I changed too fast, said I moved too quick
Said the girl they used to know just doesn't click
But growing isn't something you apologize for
It's the only way to ever become more
So let them talk, let them stare, let them wonder why
I've got my own compass and my own sky
[chorus]
It's my prerogative to live it my own way
Not asking your permission for a single day
You can talk all you want, I'll still be me
Living loud and free is my prerogative, you'll see
My prerogative, my prerogative
I decide who I become, that's my prerogative
[bridge]
I'm not here to fit the mold you made
I'm here to build my own, unafraid
Call it stubborn, call it bold
This is my life, mine to hold
[chorus]
It's my prerogative to live it my own way
Not asking your permission for a single day
You can talk all you want, I'll still be me
Living loud and free is my prerogative, you'll see
My prerogative, my prerogative
I decide who I become, that's my prerogative
