Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera
featuring Lil' Kim
So- What am I not s'pposed to (1)________ 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 (4)________ (5)__________ little boy would do
Makin' up a few (6)__________ rumors or two
That for (7)________ is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to (8)________ and give you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my (9)__________ all around the world
Who (10)________ come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be (11)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, (12)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're (13)__________ 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 hold us down
Nobody can hold us down.
Never can never 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 your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing
If you look (14)________ in history it's a common double standard of society
The guy (15)________ all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you (16)________ her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and (17)________ a change
And start a new beginning for us, (18)__________________ sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's (19)__________________ I just can't understand
If the guy (20)________ three 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 (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 that be that
You (23)________ to let him know that his (24)________ is wack
And Lil' Kim and (25)__________________ 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 (26)________ a (27)____________ boy
All you do is annoy
You must talk so big to make up for (28)______________ things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
(repeat and (29)________ out)
