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 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 talker don't know how to act
So he does what every (1)____________ boy would do
Makin' up a few (2)__________ 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 (3)____________ the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all (4)__________ should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna (5)__________ 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 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 (6)________ (7)__________ don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't (8)________ a man enough to handle what I sing
If you (9)________ 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 same and yet you (10)________ her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the girl (11)________ named
All my ladies (12)________ together and make a change
And (13)__________ a new beginning for us, everybody sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's (14)__________________ I (15)________ can't understand
If the guy have three (16)__________ 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 (17)________ on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my (18)__________ (19)________ a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know (20)________ his name 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 (21)________ up for (22)______________ things
You're (23)________ a (24)____________ boy
All you do is annoy
You must talk so big to make up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
(repeat and (25)________ out)
