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 (2)______________ I'm a woman
Call me a bitch (3)__________ 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 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 your fame through controversy
But now it's (4)________ for me to come 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 your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're (5)__________ 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 (6)________ a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to (7)____________ what I sing
If you look back in history it's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the (8)________ can do the (9)________ and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new (10)__________________ for us, everybody sang
CHORUS-repeat
Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I (11)________ can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us (12)________ head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, (13)________ she's a whore
But the table's (14)__________ to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's (15)____________ though, you can't hold me down
I got to (16)________ on movin'
To all my girls (17)________ a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You (18)________ to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina (19)________________ got your back
You're (20)________ a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You (21)________ talk so big to make up for smaller things
You're (22)________ a little boy
All you do is annoy
You must (23)________ so big to make up for smaller things
CHORUS-repeat 2X
Can't hold us down!
