It's love it's love love get busy
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Now now why don't they just let me live
Oh oh oh i don't need permission
Make my own decisions oh
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
Gettin' 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 won this fight sing
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me

I don't need permission
Make my own decisions oh

Cause what I'm doin'

Ego trips is not my thing
All these strange relationships
Really gets me down

Spreading myself around sing
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me (yeah)
Why don't they just let me live (Tell me why)

Without all of the things that people say (oooh)

Together, together, together...
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me (everybody's talking)
Why don't they just let me live (why)
