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 (1)______________ I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to (2)______________ if I sat and smiled
When a female (3)__________ back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few false (4)____________ 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 (5)________ for me to (6)________ and give you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all (7)____________ the world
Who have come across a man who don't (8)______________ your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna (9)__________ our ground
So (10)________ you hands higher and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, (11)__________ 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 message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to (13)____________ (14)________ I sing
If you look back in history it's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the (15)________ he can score
While the (16)________ can do the same and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy (17)________ all the glory and the girl (18)________ named
All my (19)____________ come together and (20)________ 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 (21)________ three girls then he's the man
He can (22)____________ 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 (23)________ on it
It's aiight though, you can't (24)________ me down
I got to (25)________ on movin'
To all my (26)__________ (27)________ a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right (28)________ to him and let that be that
You (29)________ 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 talk so big to (30)________ 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 hold us down!
