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 (2)______________ if I sat and smiled
When a female fires (3)________
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he (4)________ what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few (5)__________ rumors or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you (6)________ 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 (7)__________ should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So (8)________ you (9)__________ higher and wave 'em proud
Take a (10)________ breath and say it loud
Never can, (11)__________ will
Can't hold us down
Nobody can hold us down.
Never can (12)__________ will.
So- (13)________ am I not supposed to say (14)________ I'm saying
Are you (15)________________ with the (16)______________ I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle (17)________ I sing
If you look back in history 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 gets all the glory and the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new (18)__________________ for us, everybody sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls then 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 about to turn
I'll bet my (19)________ 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 need to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
You're (20)________ a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big to make up for (21)______________ things
You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
You (22)________ talk so big to (23)________ up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't (24)________ us down!
(repeat and (25)________ out)
