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 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 talker don't know how to act
So he does what every (2)____________ boy would do
Makin' up a few false rumors or two
That for (3)________ is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame (4)______________ controversy
But now it's time for me to come and (5)________ you (6)________ to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have (7)________ across a man who don't respect 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 (8)__________ our ground
So lift you hands (9)____________ and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't hold us down
Nobody can (10)________ us down.
Never can never will.
So- What am I not (11)________________ 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 handle what I sing
If you look back in (12)______________ 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 (13)________ all the glory and the girl gets named
All my (14)____________ come together and make a change
And start a new (15)__________________ for us, (16)__________________ sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls (17)________ he's the man
He can (18)____________ give us some head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's (19)__________ to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats (20)________ my ideas and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to (21)________ on movin'
To all my (22)__________ with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You (23)________ 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 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 smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
