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 speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a female fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few (1)__________ (2)____________ or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get (3)________ 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 (4)____________ the world
Who (5)________ come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, (6)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em know 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 never will.
So- What am I not supposed to say (7)________ 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 (8)________ a man enough to handle what I sing
If you look back in history it's a (9)____________ double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the (10)________ can do the same and yet you (11)________ 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 (12)__________ a new beginning for us, everybody sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I (13)________ can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either (14)________ us some head, sex her off
If the (15)________ can do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my (16)________ on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's (17)____________ though, you can't (18)________ me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it (19)__________ back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know (20)________ his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina (21)________________ got your back
You're (22)________ a (23)____________ boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big to make up for (24)______________ things
You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
You (25)________ talk so big to make up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
(repeat and fade out)
