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)__________ just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch (2)__________ I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When a female fires back
Suddenly big (3)____________ don't know how to act
So he (4)________ what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few false (5)____________ or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame (6)______________ controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say

CHORUS

This is for my (7)__________ 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 (8)________ do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em (9)________ we're gonna stand 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 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 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 (10)________________ of society
The guy (11)________ all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you (12)________ 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 (14)________ together and (15)________ 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 (16)________ three girls (17)________ he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, (18)________ she's a whore
But the table's (19)__________ to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats (20)________ my ideas and put (21)__________ name on it
It's (22)____________ 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 that be that
You need to let him know that his (23)________ is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina (24)________________ got your back

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

CHORUS-repeat 2X

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