Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera
featuring Lil' Kim
So- What am I not s'pposed to (1)________ an opinion
Should I keep (2)__________ just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's (3)____________ for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a female fires back
Suddenly big talker don't (4)________ how to act
So he does what (5)__________ little boy would do
Makin' up a few false rumors or two
That for (6)________ 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 (7)________ and give 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 should be (10)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em (11)________ we're gonna stand our ground
So lift you hands (12)____________ 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- What am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended with the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause (13)________ words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man (14)____________ to handle what I sing
If you look back in (15)______________ it's a common double (16)________________ of society
The guy (17)________ 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 (18)____________________ why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the (19)________ gets named
All my (20)____________ come together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us, everybody sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's (21)__________________ I just can't understand
If the guy have 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 hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my (24)__________ with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him (25)________ 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
