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 because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's (1)____________ for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a female (2)__________ back
Suddenly big talker don't (3)________ how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few false (4)____________ or two
That for (5)________ 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 girls all around the world
Who have (8)________ across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So (9)________ do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em (10)________ we're gonna (11)__________ our ground
So (12)________ you hands (13)____________ and wave 'em proud
Take a (14)________ breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't hold us down
Nobody can (15)________ us down.
Never can never will.
So- (16)________ am I not (17)________________ to say what I'm saying
Are you offended (18)________ 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 (19)________ 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 same and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy (20)________ all the glory and the girl (21)________ named
All my (22)____________ come (23)________________ 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 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 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 (24)________ that his (25)________ is wack
And Lil' Kim and (26)__________________ (27)________________ 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 just 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!
