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 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 (2)______________ if I sat and smiled

When a female (3)__________ back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy (4)__________ 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 (5)________ get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you (6)________ to say

CHORUS

This is for my girls all around the world
Who (7)________ come (8)____________ a man who don't (9)______________ your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're (10)__________ 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 (11)________ us down

Nobody can hold us down.
Never can (12)__________ 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 (13)________ words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle (14)________ I sing
If you look back in history it's a (15)____________ 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 call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the girl (16)________ named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And (17)__________ a new beginning for us, (18)__________________ sang

CHORUS-repeat

Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy (19)________ three girls then he's the man
He can (20)____________ 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 (21)________ 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 (22)________ to him and let (23)________ be that
You need to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got (24)________ back

You're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must (25)________ so big to make up for smaller things
You're (26)________ a little 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 fade out)
