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 cause I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's (2)____________ 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' names for popularity
It's sad you only get (5)________ fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to (6)________ and give you more to say
CHORUS
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect (7)________ worth
Thinkin' all (8)__________ should 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 (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 (10)________________ to say (11)________ I'm saying
Are you offended with the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your (12)__________ don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle (13)________ I sing
If you (14)________ back in history it's a (15)____________ 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 understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the (16)________ gets named
All my ladies come together 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 (18)____________ give us some head, sex her off
If the (19)________ can do the same, (20)________ 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 (21)____________ 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 (22)________ be that
You need to let him know (23)________ his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and (24)__________________ Aguilera got (25)________ back
You're just a (26)____________ 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 hold us down!
