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 swallow if I sat and smiled

When a female fires (1)________
Suddenly big (2)____________ don't know how to act
So he does (3)________ every (4)____________ 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 (5)________ and give you more to say

CHORUS

This is for my (6)__________ all (7)____________ the world
Who (8)________ (9)________ across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all (10)__________ should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em (11)________ we're gonna (12)__________ our ground
So lift you hands higher and wave '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 (13)__________ 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 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 common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the (14)________ can do the same and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the (15)__________ and the girl gets named
All my ladies come (16)________________ and make a change
And start a new beginning for us, (17)__________________ 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 (18)________ 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 right back to him and let that be that
You (21)________ to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina (22)________________ got your back

You're (23)________ a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must (24)________ so big to make up for smaller things
You're just a (25)____________ boy
All you do is annoy
You (26)________ talk so big to (27)________ up for smaller things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

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