My Prerogative Lyrics

(feat. Aaron Hall, Bernard Bill, Lee Drakeford, ...) 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 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 undersand 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 [Chorus:] 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 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'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 [Chorus] I can do what I wanna do (it's my prerogative) I can live my life (it's my prerogative) And I'm doing it just for you (it's my prerogative) Tell me, tell me why can't I live my life Live my life without all of the things That people say oh Yo, teddy kick it like this Oh no no I can do what I wanna do Me and you together together together together together [chorus: ad lib and fade]

Meaning of My Prerogative

“My Prerogative” embodies a defiant swagger and unapologetic hedonism, showcasing Bobby Brown’s assertion of his own desires and lifestyle. The core message is one of rejecting external judgment and control; he repeatedly declares “that’s my prerogative,” refusing to be dictated by what others think or say about his pursuit of pleasure – specifically, attracting women and enjoying a lavish, free-spirited existence. Fueled by frustration with criticism (“They say I'm crazy / I really don't care”), Brown presents himself as someone operating on his own terms, prioritizing immediate gratification over societal expectations. The song’s energetic beat and confident delivery amplify this rebellious attitude, suggesting an indulgence in a world where he dictates the rules and lives life exactly as he chooses, emphasizing a desire for freedom and self-determination above all else.
