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 swallow if I sat and smiled

When a female fires back
Suddenly big (2)____________ don't (3)________ how to act
So he (4)________ what every (5)____________ 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 (6)________ get your (7)________ through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and (8)________ you (9)________ 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 women should be (10)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, (11)__________ 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 (12)________ us down

Nobody can hold us down.
Never can (13)__________ will.

So- What am I not (14)________________ to say what I'm saying
Are you offended (15)________ the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause (16)________ words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't (17)________ a man enough to handle what 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 (18)________ can do the same and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the (19)__________ and the girl gets named
All my (20)____________ (21)________ together 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 (22)__________ girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the (23)________ can do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's (24)__________ 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 (25)________ to him and let that be that
You (26)________ to let him know that his (27)________ is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your 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 (28)________ talk so big to make up for smaller things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

Can't hold us down!
(repeat and fade out)
