Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera
featuring Lil' Kim
So- (1)________ am I not s'pposed to have an opinion
Should I (2)________ (3)__________ just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's (4)____________ for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a female (5)__________ back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what (6)__________ little boy would 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 (8)________ through controversy
But now it's time for me to (9)________ and (10)________ you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my (11)__________ all around the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect (12)________ worth
Thinkin' all (13)__________ should be seen not heard
So (14)________ do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're (15)__________ stand our ground
So (16)________ you hands higher and (17)________ '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 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 history it's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the (18)__________ the (19)________ he can score
While the (20)________ 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 gets named
All my ladies (21)________ together 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 have (22)__________ girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the (23)________ can do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's (24)__________ to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their (25)________ on it
It's aiight 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 back to him and let (26)________ be that
You need to let him know (27)________ his (28)________ 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 (29)________ so big to make up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
