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 female (1)__________ back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he (2)________ (3)________ (4)__________ 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 (5)________ get your fame through controversy
But now it's (6)________ for me to come and (7)________ you more to say

CHORUS

This is for my girls all around the world
Who have (8)________ across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, (9)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna (10)__________ our ground
So lift you hands higher and (11)________ 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't (12)________ us down

Nobody can hold us down.
Never can never will.

So- (13)________ am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you (14)________________ with the (15)______________ I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't (16)________ a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing
If you (17)________ 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 (18)________ named
All my ladies come (19)________________ and make 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 (20)__________ 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 (21)________ me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my (22)__________ (23)________ a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and (24)__________________ Aguilera got your back

You're (25)________ a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You (26)________ talk so big to make up for (27)______________ things
You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
You (28)________ talk so big to make up for (29)______________ things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

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