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 female fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few false (2)____________ or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get (3)________ (4)________ through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you (5)________ to say

CHORUS

This is for my (6)__________ all around the world
Who have (7)________ (8)____________ 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 know we're gonna (9)__________ our ground
So lift you hands (10)____________ and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't hold us down

Nobody can hold us down.
Never can never will.

So- (11)________ am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you (12)________________ with the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your (13)__________ don't (14)________ a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to (15)____________ 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 (18)________ all the glory and the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And (19)__________ a new beginning for us, everybody 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 (22)________ 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 (23)__________ 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 (25)________ 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 (26)____________ boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big to make up for (27)______________ things
You're just a (28)____________ boy
All you do is annoy
You must talk so big to make up for (29)______________ things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

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