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 (2)____________ for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a female fires back
Suddenly big talker don't (3)________ how to act
So he does (4)________ every (5)____________ boy would do
Makin' up a few (6)__________ rumors or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get (7)________ fame through controversy
But now it's (8)________ for me to come and give you more 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 seen not heard
So what do we do girls, (9)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So (10)________ 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 what I'm saying
Are you offended (11)________ 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 (12)________ (13)________ in history it's a (14)____________ double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you (15)________ her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the (16)__________ 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 just can't understand
If the guy have three (17)__________ then he's the man
He can either 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 (18)________ on it
Cats take my (19)__________ and put their (20)________ on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to (21)________ on movin'
To all my (22)__________ with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it (23)__________ back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know (24)________ his (25)________ 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 (27)________ so big to (28)________ up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
