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 (1)__________ just (2)______________ I'm a woman
Call me a bitch (3)__________ I (4)__________ what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to (5)______________ if I sat and smiled

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

CHORUS

This is for my (8)__________ all around the world
Who have (9)________ across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women (10)____________ be seen not heard
So (11)________ do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand 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 hold us down.
Never can never will.

So- (12)________ am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended with the (13)______________ I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your (14)__________ don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle (15)________ 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 (16)____________________ why it's OK,
The guy gets all the (17)__________ and the girl gets named
All my ladies (18)________ together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us, (19)__________________ sang

CHORUS-repeat

Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls (20)________ 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 about to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's (21)____________ though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls (22)________ a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it (23)__________ (24)________ to him and let that be that
You (25)________ 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 (26)________ 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 (27)______________ things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

Can't hold us down!
