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