Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera

featuring Lil' Kim

So- (1)________ 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 (2)__________ what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When a (3)____________ fires back
Suddenly big (4)____________ don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few false (5)____________ or two
That for (6)________ 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 come and give you (7)________ to say

CHORUS

This is for my (8)__________ all around the world
Who have come across a man who don't (9)______________ your worth
Thinkin' all women (10)____________ be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're (11)__________ stand our ground
So (12)________ you hands higher and wave 'em proud
Take a deep (13)____________ 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 (14)________ 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 (15)________ in history it's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the (16)________ and yet you call her a whore
I don't (17)____________________ why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the (18)________ 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 just can't understand
If the guy have (19)__________ girls then he's the man
He can (20)____________ 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 (21)__________ and put their name on it
It's (22)____________ though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my (23)__________ with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let (24)________ be that
You (25)________ to let him know (26)________ his name 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 (27)______________ things
You're just a (28)____________ boy
All you do is annoy
You must (29)________ so big to make up for smaller things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

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