Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera

featuring Lil' Kim

So- What am I not s'pposed to (1)________ 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 swallow if I sat and smiled

When a female fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does (2)________ every (3)____________ 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 (4)________ get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and (5)________ you more to say

CHORUS

This is for my girls all (6)____________ the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all (7)__________ should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So (8)________ you hands higher and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, (9)__________ will
Can't (10)________ 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 (11)________ 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 (12)____________ 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 (14)________ together and make a change
And (15)__________ a new beginning for us, everybody sang

CHORUS-repeat

Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's (16)__________________ I just can't understand
If the guy have three (17)__________ (18)________ 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 (19)__________ to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put (20)__________ 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 right back to him and let that be that
You (21)________ to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back

You're just a (22)____________ boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big to make up for (23)______________ 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 (24)________ us down!
(repeat and fade out)
