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 (1)____________ fires (2)________
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what 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 your fame through controversy
But now it's (3)________ for me to come and (4)________ you more to say

CHORUS

This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come (5)____________ a man who don't respect (6)________ worth
Thinkin' all women should be (7)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So lift you hands higher and wave 'em proud
Take a deep (8)____________ and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't hold us down

Nobody can (9)________ us down.
Never can never will.

So- What am I not (10)________________ to say (11)________ I'm saying
Are you offended with the (12)______________ I'm bringin'
Call me (13)________________ 'cause your words don't (14)________ a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle (15)________ I sing
If you look back in (16)______________ 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 (18)____________________ why it's OK,
The guy (19)________ all the (20)__________ and the (21)________ 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 something I (22)________ can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, (23)________ 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 (24)________ on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know (25)________ his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back

You're (26)________ 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 (27)____________ 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)
