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 (1)________ because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cause 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 (2)____________ don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few (3)__________ (4)____________ or two
That for (5)________ is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get (6)________ fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come across a man who don't (7)______________ your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em (8)________ we're gonna stand our ground
So lift you hands (9)____________ and (10)________ '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- What am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you (11)________________ (12)________ the (13)______________ I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't (14)________ a man enough to handle what I sing
If you look back in history it's a (15)____________ double standard of society
The guy (16)________ all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the (17)________ and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy (18)________ all the (19)__________ and the (20)________ gets named
All my ladies come together and (21)________ 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 have (22)__________ girls then he's the man
He can either (23)________ us some head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, (24)________ she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their (25)________ 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 (26)__________ back to him and let that be that
You need to let him (27)________ 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 talk so big to make up for smaller things
You're (28)________ a little boy
All you do is annoy
You must talk so big to (29)________ up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
