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 (2)__________ 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 (3)__________ little boy would do
Makin' up a few false rumors or two
That for (4)________ is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you (5)________ get your (6)________ through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my (7)__________ all around the world
Who have come 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 (8)__________ 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 (9)__________ will.
So- What am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended (10)________ the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't (11)________ a thing
Guess you ain't even a man (12)____________ to handle what I sing
If you (13)________ 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 (14)________ and yet you (15)________ 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, everybody sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I (16)________ can't understand
If the guy have (17)__________ girls then he's the man
He can (18)____________ 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 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 (19)________ a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right (20)________ to him and let that be that
You (21)________ to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
You're just a (22)____________ boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big to (23)________ 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!
