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 (1)__________ (2)________ 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 (3)____________ fires back
Suddenly big (4)____________ 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' (5)__________ 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 girls all around the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna (7)__________ our ground
So lift you (8)__________ higher and (9)________ '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 never will.

So- What am I not supposed to say (10)________ 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 (11)________ a man enough to handle what I sing
If you look (12)________ 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 (13)____________________ why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the girl gets named
All my ladies come (14)________________ and (15)________ a change
And (16)__________ a new beginning for us, everybody sang

CHORUS-repeat

Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I (17)________ can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us (18)________ head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, (19)________ she's a whore
But the table's (20)__________ to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my (21)__________ and put their (22)________ on it
It's aiight though, you can't (23)________ me down
I got to (24)________ 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 (25)________ that his (26)________ is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera 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 (27)________ us down!
(repeat and fade out)
