Can`t Hold Us Down Lyrics

Can`t Hold Us Down lyrics

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 fires back suddenly big talker don't know how to act

 So he does what every 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 only 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 girls all around the world

 Who've come across a man that don't respect your worth

 Thinkin' all woman should be seen not heard

 So what do we do girls, shout out loud

 Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground

 So lift your 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

 Nobody can hold us down

 Nobody can hold us down

 Never can never will

 

 So- What am I not s'pposed to say what I'm saying

 Are you offended with the message I'm bringin'

 Call me whatever 'cause 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 OK

 The guy can get away with it, the girl gets named

 All my ladies come together and make a change

 And start a new beginning for us, everybody sing

 

 Chorus

 

 Lil Kim:

 

 Now, here is something I just cant understand

 If the guy have three girls then hes the man

 He can even give her some head or sex her off

 But if a girl can do the same then shes a whore

 But the tables about to turn, I bet my fame on it

 Cats take my ideas, they put they name on it

 Its aight though, you cant hold me down

 I got to keep on movin

 To my girls to their man who be tryin to mac

 Do it right back to him and let that be that

 You need to let him know that his game is mac

 And Lil Kim and Christina got your back

 

 You're just 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 talk so big to make up for smaller things

 

 Chorus x2

 

 Uh, oh oh 

 uh,uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, cant hold us down
