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 (1)__________ (2)__________ I (3)__________ what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to (4)______________ if I sat and smiled
When a female fires back
Suddenly big (5)____________ don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few false rumors or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' (6)__________ for popularity
It's sad you only get (7)________ fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my (8)__________ all (9)____________ the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women (10)____________ be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So lift you hands higher and wave 'em proud
Take a deep (11)____________ 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 (12)________________ to say (13)________ I'm saying
Are you offended with the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause (14)________ 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 (15)__________ 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 gets all the glory and the girl gets named
All my ladies come (16)________________ and (17)________ 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 (18)________ be that
You (19)________ to let him (20)________ that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina (21)________________ got (22)________ back
You're (23)________ a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big to (24)________ up for smaller things
You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
You must talk so big to (25)________ up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
(repeat and fade out)
