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 easier for you to (1)______________ if I sat and smiled
When a (2)____________ fires back
Suddenly big (3)____________ don't know how to act
So he (4)________ 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 your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you (6)________ to say
CHORUS
This is for my (7)__________ all around the world
Who (8)________ come 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 (11)__________ stand our ground
So lift you (12)__________ higher and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, (13)__________ 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 (14)__________ don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't (15)________ a man enough to handle what I sing
If you look back in history it's a (16)____________ double (17)________________ 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 (18)____________________ why it's OK,
The guy gets all the (19)__________ and the girl (20)________ named
All my (21)____________ come (22)________________ 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 (23)__________ 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 (24)__________ 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 (25)________ be that
You need to let him know (26)________ his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina (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 (28)______________ things
You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
You must talk so big to make up for (29)______________ things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
