Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera

featuring Lil' Kim

So- (1)________ am I not s'pposed to (2)________ an opinion
Should I keep quiet just (3)______________ I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to (4)______________ if I sat and smiled

When a female fires (5)________
Suddenly big (6)____________ don't (7)________ how to act
So he (8)________ what (9)__________ little boy would do
Makin' up a few (10)__________ 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 time for me to come and (11)________ you more to say

CHORUS

This is for my girls all around the world
Who (12)________ come (13)____________ a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, (14)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em (15)________ we're gonna (16)__________ our ground
So lift you hands (17)____________ 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 (18)________________ 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 (19)________ 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 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 girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us, everybody sang

CHORUS-repeat

Lil' Kim:
Check it- Here's something I (20)________ can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can (21)____________ give us (22)________ head, sex her off
If the girl can do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats (23)________ my ideas and put their name on it
It's (24)____________ 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 (25)________ that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and (26)__________________ Aguilera got your 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 (28)________ a little boy
All you do is annoy
You must talk so big to make up for (29)______________ things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

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