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 (1)__________ I (2)__________ what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a (3)____________ fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does (4)________ every little boy would 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 only get (5)________ fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you (6)________ to say
CHORUS
This is for my (7)__________ all around the world
Who have (8)________ across a man who don't respect (9)________ worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, (10)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em know 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, (12)__________ will
Can't hold us down
Nobody can hold us down.
Never can (13)__________ will.
So- What am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you (14)________________ with the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't (15)________ a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing
If you (16)________ back in history it's a common (17)____________ 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 (18)________ gets named
All my ladies (19)________ together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us, (20)__________________ sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I (21)________ can't understand
If the guy have (22)__________ girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the (23)________ 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 (24)________ me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it (25)__________ back to him and let that be that
You (26)________ to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and (27)__________________ Aguilera got your 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 (28)________ talk so big to make up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't (29)________ us down!
(repeat and fade out)
