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 just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cause I (1)__________ what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a (2)____________ fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy (3)__________ 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 (4)________ get your fame (5)______________ controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be (6)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, (7)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em (8)________ we're gonna stand our ground
So lift you (9)__________ higher 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- (11)________ 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 (12)________ all the (13)__________ 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 gets all the glory and the (14)________ gets named
All my (15)____________ come together and (16)________ a change
And start a new (17)__________________ for us, everybody sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have (18)__________ girls then he's the man
He can (19)____________ (20)________ us (21)________ 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 (22)________ on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name 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 that be that
You (23)________ to let him (24)________ that his (25)________ is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
You're (26)________ 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 (27)________ so big to make up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
(repeat and fade out)
