Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera
featuring Lil' Kim
So- What am I not s'pposed to have an opinion
Should I (1)________ quiet just (2)______________ I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to (3)______________ if I sat and smiled
When a female fires back
Suddenly big (4)____________ don't know how to act
So he (5)________ what every (6)____________ 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 only get your 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 (7)____________ the world
Who have come (8)____________ 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 gonna stand our ground
So (9)________ you hands higher and wave 'em proud
Take a (10)________ breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't (11)________ us down
Nobody can hold us down.
Never can never will.
So- (12)________ 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 (13)________ (14)________ in history it's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the (15)__________ the (16)________ he can score
While the girl can do the (17)________ and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the (18)__________ and the girl gets named
All my (19)____________ come (20)________________ and make a change
And start a new beginning 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 (21)____________ give us some head, sex her off
If the (22)________ can do the same, (23)________ she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put (24)__________ name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to (25)________ 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 (26)________ back
You're just 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 talk so big to (27)________ up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't (28)________ us down!
(repeat and fade out)
