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 bitch (1)__________ I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a female fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few false rumors or two
That for (2)________ is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you (3)________ get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to (4)________ and give you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all around the world
Who (5)________ come across a man who don't respect (6)________ worth
Thinkin' all women should be (7)________ not heard
So (8)________ do we do girls, (9)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna (10)__________ our ground
So lift you (11)__________ higher and wave 'em proud
Take a (12)________ breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't hold us down
Nobody can hold us down.
Never can never will.
So- What am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended with 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 handle what I sing
If you look 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 (14)________ and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the (15)__________ and the (16)________ gets named
All my ladies come (17)________________ and make a change
And start a new beginning for us, (18)__________________ sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I (19)________ can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can (20)____________ give us some head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my (21)________ on it
Cats take my (22)__________ and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my (23)__________ with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right (24)________ to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his (25)________ 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 (26)________ talk so big to make up for smaller things
You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
You must talk so big to make up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't (27)________ us down!
(repeat and fade out)
