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 (2)__________ (3)________
Suddenly big talker don't (4)________ how to act
So he does what every (5)____________ 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 (6)________ fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to (7)________ and give you more to say

CHORUS

This is for my (8)__________ all around the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be (9)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, (10)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em (11)________ we're gonna stand our ground
So lift you hands (12)____________ and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't hold us down

Nobody can (13)________ us down.
Never can never will.

So- (14)________ 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 (15)________ 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 gets all the glory the more he can score
While the (16)________ can do the (17)________ and yet you call 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 make a change
And start a new beginning for us, (18)__________________ sang

CHORUS-repeat

Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three (19)__________ then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, (20)________ she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my (21)________ on it
Cats (22)________ 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 back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know (23)________ his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina (24)________________ got your back

You're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You (25)________ talk so big to make up for (26)______________ things
You're (27)________ a little 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 (28)________ out)
