My Prerogative

[JAKE (NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS)]
Yeah! (Get up)
Hey, yeah (Get up)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah (Get up)
Hey, yeah (Get up)
Oh, get busy

[JAKE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS (JAKE)]
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me (Now, now)

[NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS (JAKE)]
Why don't they just let me live? (Oh)
I don't need permission

[JAKE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS (JAKE)]
Make my own decisions (Oh!)
That's my prerogative

[JAKE]
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 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 win this fight

[JAKE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS]
Sing!

[JAKE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS (JAKE)]
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live (Tell me why)
I don't need permission
Make my own decisions (Oh!)

[NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS (JAKE)]
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)

[JAKE]
I'm doing for you now
Don't get me wrong
I'm really not zooped
Ego trips is not my thing
All these strange relationships
Really gets me down
I see nothing wrong
With spreading myself around

[JAKE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS]
Sing!

[NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS (JAKE)]
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me (Yeah, yeah)
Why don't they just let me live? (Tell me why)
I don't need permission (I don't need)
Make my own decisions (My own decisions)
That's my prerogative (It's my prerogative)
It's my prerogative (I can do what I wanna do)
It's my prerogative (Can live my life)
It's my prerogative (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)

[JAKE]
Without all of the things that people say
Oh, oh, oh yeah
Yeah!
Yo tell it, kick it like this
Oh no, no
I can do what I wanna do
Me and you
Together, together, together, together, together

[NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS (JAKE)]
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me (Everybody's talking now)
Why (Now!) don't they just let me live (Why don't they just let me live, girl?)
I don't need permission
Make my own decisions (Don't need permission from nobody)
That's my prerogative (Oh, oh, oh yeah)
Everybody's talkin all this stuff about me (Everybody's talking now)
Why don't they just let me live (Now!)
I don't need permission (I don't need)
Make my own decisions (My own decisions)
That's my prerogative (Oh)

[JAKE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS]
It's my prerogative
