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 (1)__________ 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 (2)________
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few (3)__________ rumors or two
That for (4)________ is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you (5)________ get your fame (6)______________ controversy
But now it's (7)________ for me to come and (8)________ you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come (9)____________ 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 (10)__________ 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 (11)________ 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 words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing
If you (12)________ back in (13)______________ it's a common double (14)________________ of society
The guy (15)________ all the glory the (16)________ 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 (17)________ gets named
All my ladies come (18)________________ and (19)________ a change
And (20)__________ 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 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 fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't (21)________ me down
I got to (22)________ 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 (23)________ his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
You're just a (24)____________ 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 (25)________ up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
(repeat and fade out)
