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 bitch cause I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's (1)____________ for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When a (2)____________ fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few false (3)____________ or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to (4)________ and give you more to say

CHORUS

This is for my girls all (5)____________ the world
Who (6)________ come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all (7)__________ should be (8)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, (9)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're (10)__________ stand our ground
So lift you hands higher and (11)________ '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 (12)________ 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 (14)____________ what I sing
If you look back in history it's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the (15)________ he can score
While the girl can do the (16)________ and yet you call her a whore
I don't (17)____________________ why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the girl gets 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 (20)__________ girls (21)________ 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 (22)__________ 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 (23)__________ back to him and let (24)________ be that
You need to let him (25)________ that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got (26)________ back

You're just a (27)____________ 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 (28)________ up for (29)______________ things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

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