Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera

featuring Lil' Kim

So- (1)________ am I not s'pposed to have an opinion
Should I (2)________ quiet just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to (3)______________ if I sat and smiled

When a female fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does (4)________ every little boy (5)__________ do
Makin' up a few false (6)____________ 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 (7)________ for me to come and (8)________ you more to say

CHORUS

This is for my (9)__________ 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, (10)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna (11)__________ 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 hold us down

Nobody can (12)________ us down.
Never can (13)__________ will.

So- What am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended (14)________ the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to (15)____________ 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 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 beginning for us, everybody sang

CHORUS-repeat

Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy (16)________ three girls (17)________ he's the man
He can (18)____________ give us (19)________ head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's (20)__________ to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put (21)__________ name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my (22)__________ (23)________ a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him (24)________ that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back

You're just a (25)____________ boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big to (26)________ up for smaller things
You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
You must (27)________ so big to make up for smaller things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

Can't (28)________ us down!
(repeat and fade out)
