Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera

featuring Lil' Kim

So- What am I not s'pposed to have an opinion
Should I (1)________ 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 what every (2)____________ 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 time for me to (3)________ and give you (4)________ to say

CHORUS

This is for my (5)__________ all around the world
Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all (6)__________ should be (7)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're (8)__________ stand our ground
So lift you hands (9)____________ 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 (10)__________ will.

So- What am I not (11)________________ to say what I'm saying
Are you (12)________________ with the message I'm bringin'
Call me (13)________________ 'cause (14)________ words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle (15)________ I sing
If you (16)________ (17)________ 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 (18)________ gets named
All my ladies come together and (19)________ 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 either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl 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 (21)__________ name on it
It's (22)____________ 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 that be that
You need to let him know (24)________ his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina (25)________________ got your back

You're (26)________ a little 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 (27)________ so big to (28)________ up for smaller things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

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