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 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 (3)________ get your (4)________ through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and (5)________ you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have (6)________ across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're (7)__________ stand our ground
So lift you hands higher and (8)________ '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 (9)__________ don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to (10)____________ what I sing
If you (11)________ (12)________ in history it's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the (13)________ 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 beginning for us, (14)__________________ sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's (15)__________________ I (16)________ can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us (17)________ head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, (18)________ she's a whore
But the table's (19)__________ to turn
I'll bet my fame 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 (20)________ to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and (21)__________________ Aguilera got your back
You're (22)________ a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must (23)________ so big to make up for smaller things
You're (24)________ 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 (26)________ out)
