Bb                 F7 
People can take everything away from you 
                                       Gm   Ebm  
But they can never take away your truth  
                   Bb    F7    Gm   Ebm 
But the question is  
                    Em7 
Can you handle mine?  


(Parte 1) 
                Bb 
They say I'm crazy           
                F7           
I really don't care 
              Gm   Ebm  
That's my prerogative  
                Bb 
They say I'm nasty  
     F7 
But I don't give a damn 
Gm               Ebm   Em7  
Getting boys is how I live  


(Parte 2) 
              Bb 
Some ask me questions 
        F7  
Why am I so real? 
      Gm  
But they don't understand me 
       Ebm                               Bb  
I really don't know the deal about my sister 
         F7  
Trying hard to make it right 
Gm  
Not long ago 
   Ebm             Em7  
Before I won this fight  


[Refrão]

 
Bb                     F7 
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me

           Ebm              Em7 
You can't tell me what to do  


(Segue a parte 1) 

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 spreadin' myself around  

Chorus: Segue o mesmo
