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 (1)________ 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 (2)____________ (3)__________ back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he (4)________ what (5)__________ little boy would do
Makin' up a few false (6)____________ or two
That for (7)________ is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame (8)______________ controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women (9)____________ be seen not heard
So (10)________ do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're (11)__________ stand our ground
So lift you hands higher and wave 'em proud
Take a deep (12)____________ and say it loud
Never can, never 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 offended with the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause (14)________ 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 common double standard of society
The guy (15)________ all the (16)__________ 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 (17)________ all the glory and the (18)________ gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us, (19)__________________ sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy (20)________ (21)__________ 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 hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls (22)________ a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it (23)__________ (24)________ to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his (25)________ 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 make up for (26)______________ things
You're just a (27)____________ boy
All you do is annoy
You must talk so big to (28)________ up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
