Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera
featuring Lil' Kim
So- What am I not s'pposed to have an opinion
Should I keep quiet just because I'm a woman
Call me a (1)__________ cause I (2)__________ what's on my mind
Guess it's (3)____________ for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a (4)____________ fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what every (5)____________ boy would do
Makin' up a few false (6)____________ or two
That for (7)________ is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your (8)________ (9)______________ controversy
But now it's time for me to come and (10)________ you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all (11)____________ the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women (12)____________ be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, (13)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So (14)________ you hands higher and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't hold us down
Nobody can hold us down.
Never can never will.
So- (15)________ am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended (16)________ the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't (17)________ a man enough to (18)____________ (19)________ I sing
If you (20)________ back in history it's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new (21)__________________ for us, everybody sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have (22)__________ girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's (23)__________ to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put (24)__________ name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right (25)________ to him and let that be that
You (26)________ to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and (27)__________________ (28)________________ got your back
You're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big to make up for smaller things
You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
You (29)________ talk so big to make up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
