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 (1)______________ 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 (2)__________ rumors or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get (3)________ fame (4)______________ controversy
But now it's time for me to come and (5)________ you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have (6)________ across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be (7)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em (8)________ we're (9)__________ (10)__________ our ground
So lift you hands higher and (11)________ '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 (12)______________ 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 back in history it's a (13)____________ double standard of society
The guy (14)________ all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the (15)________ 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 (17)____________ 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 (18)________ 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 fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't (19)________ me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls (20)________ a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it (21)__________ back to him and let (22)________ be that
You need to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina (23)________________ got your back
You're just a (24)____________ boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must (25)________ 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!
