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 quiet just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch (2)__________ I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When a female (3)__________ back
Suddenly big (4)____________ don't know how to act
So he does (5)________ every little boy (6)__________ 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 (7)________ get your 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 (8)____________ the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women (9)____________ be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So lift you hands (10)____________ and wave 'em proud
Take a deep (11)____________ 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 (12)________ 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 enough to handle what I sing
If you (14)________ back in (15)______________ 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 (16)________ and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us, (17)__________________ sang

CHORUS-repeat

Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's (18)__________________ I just can't understand
If the guy have (19)__________ 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 (21)__________ to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't (22)________ me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my (23)__________ with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his (24)________ is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina (25)________________ 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 (26)________ so big to make up for smaller things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

Can't hold us down!
(repeat and fade out)
