Christina Aguilera feat. Lil' Kim Can't Hold Us Down
So what am I
not supposed to have an opinion Should I be quiet just because I'm a
woman Call me a bitch cos 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
the target don't know how to act So he does what any little boy will
do Making 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 come and give you more to
say
This is for my girls all around the world Who've come across a
man who don't respect your worth Thinking all women should be seen, not
heard So what do we do girls? Shout louder! Letting them know we're
gonna stand our ground Lift your hands high and wave them proud Take a
deep breath and say it loud Never can, never will, can't hold us
down
Nobody can hold us down Nobody can 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 offended by the message I'm bringing Call me
whatever cos your words don't mean a thing Guess you ain't even a man enough
to handle what 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 okay The guy can get away with it & the girl gets named All
my ladies come together and make a change Start a new beginning for us
everybody sing
This is for my girls all around the world Who've come
across a man who don't respect your worth Thinking all women should be seen,
not heard What do we do girls? Shout louder! Letting them know we're
gonna stand our ground Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud Take a
deep breath and say it loud Never can, never will, can't hold us
down
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 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 that be that You need to let him
know that his game is whack And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your
back
But you're just a little boy Think you're so cute, so coy You
must talk so big To make up for small lil' things So you're just a little
boy All you'll do is annoy You must talk so big To make up for small
lil' things
This is for my girls... This is for my girls all around
the world Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth Thinking
all women should be seen, not heard So what do we do girls? Shout
louder! Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground Lift your hands
high and wave 'em proud Take a deep breath and say it loud Never can,
never will, can't hold us down
