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 (1)________ 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 (2)__________ (3)________
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what (4)__________ little boy (5)__________ 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 (6)________ fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you (7)________ to say
CHORUS
This is for my (8)__________ all around the world
Who (9)________ come across a man who don't respect (10)________ worth
Thinkin' all women should be (11)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em (12)________ 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 (13)__________ 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 your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't (14)________ a man (15)____________ to handle what I sing
If you look back in history it's a common double standard of society
The guy (16)________ all the glory the more he can score
While the (17)________ can do the same and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the girl (18)________ named
All my (19)____________ come (20)________________ and make 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)________ (22)__________ (23)__________ then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the (24)________ 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 (25)____________ though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right (26)________ to him and let that be that
You (27)________ 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 (28)________ talk so big to make up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
