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 easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When a (1)____________ (2)__________ back
Suddenly big talker don't (3)________ how to act
So he does what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few false (4)____________ or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your (5)________ through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you (6)________ to say

CHORUS

This is for my girls all around the world
Who have (7)________ across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be (8)________ not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em (9)________ we're gonna 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- (10)________ am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you (11)________________ with the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man (12)____________ to handle (13)________ I sing
If you look (14)________ in (15)______________ it's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the (16)________ he can score
While the girl can do the (17)________ 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 (18)____________ (19)________ together and (20)________ a change
And (21)__________ 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, then she's a whore
But the table's about 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 right back to him and let (22)________ be that
You need to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and (23)__________________ Aguilera got (24)________ back

You're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must (25)________ so big to (26)________ up for smaller 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 hold us down!
(repeat and fade out)
