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 (2)____________ 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 (3)________ what every little boy would do
Makin' up a few (4)__________ 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 time for me to come and give you more to say

CHORUS

This is for my (6)__________ all (7)____________ the world
Who have come across a man who don't (8)______________ (9)________ worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, (10)__________ out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna (11)__________ our ground
So lift you hands higher and wave 'em proud
Take a deep (12)____________ 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 (13)________________ to say what I'm saying
Are you offended (14)________ the (15)______________ I'm bringin'
Call me (16)________________ 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't (17)________ a man (18)____________ to handle (19)________ I sing
If you look (20)________ 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 (21)________ 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 just can't understand
If the guy have three (22)__________ 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 (23)________ me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it (24)__________ back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his name is wack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got (25)________ back

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

CHORUS-repeat 2X

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