Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera
featuring Lil' Kim
So- (1)________ 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 (2)______________ 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 (3)__________ 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 (4)________ get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you (5)________ to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all (6)____________ the world
Who have come across a man who don't (7)______________ your worth
Thinkin' all (8)__________ should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're (9)__________ (10)__________ our ground
So lift you hands higher and (11)________ 'em proud
Take a deep (12)____________ 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 message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause (13)________ words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing
If you look back in (14)______________ it's a common double standard of society
The guy (15)________ 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 gets all the glory and the (16)________ (17)________ named
All my ladies (18)________ together and make a change
And start a new (19)__________________ for us, everybody sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three (20)__________ then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, (21)________ she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put (22)__________ name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls (23)________ a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right (24)________ to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his (25)________ is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
You're (26)________ a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big to (27)________ up for smaller things
You're (28)________ a little boy
