Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera

featuring Lil' Kim

So- (1)________ am I not s'pposed to have an opinion
Should I keep quiet (2)________ 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 (3)__________ back
Suddenly big talker don't (4)________ how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few (5)__________ rumors or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you (6)________ get your fame (7)______________ controversy
But now it's time 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 (10)________ we're gonna stand our ground
So lift you hands (11)____________ and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't hold us down

Nobody can (12)________ us down.
Never can never will.

So- (13)________ am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you (14)________________ with the message I'm bringin'
Call me (15)________________ 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing
If you look back in history it's a (16)____________ double (17)________________ of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the (18)________ and yet you (19)________ her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory 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 (20)__________________ I (21)________ can't understand
If the guy (22)________ three girls then he's the man
He can (23)____________ give us some head, sex her off
If the girl 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 (25)________ me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right (26)________ 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 your back

You're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must (27)________ so big to make up for smaller things
You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
You must (28)________ so big to make up for smaller things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

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