Can't Hold Us Down

So what am I not 'sposed to have an opinion

Should I keep quiet just because I'm a woman

Call me a b***h '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 any 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

It's so sad

But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say

This is for my girls all around the world

Around the world

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

Whoa

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard

Whoa

So what do we do girls

Shout louder

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

Stand our ground

Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud

Whoa

Take a deep breath and say it loud

Whoa

Never can never will can't hold us down

Nobody can hold us down

Nobody can hold us down

Nobody gonna hold us down

Never can never will

So what am I not 'sposed to say what I'm sayin'

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 w***e

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

And start a new beginning for us everybody sing

Christina Aguilera/Lil' Kim：

This is for my girls all around the world

Around the world

Yeah

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

Respect your worth

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard

You can't get rid of us

So what do we do girls

Shout louder

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

We standin' our ground on this one

Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud

Whoa

Take a deep breath and say it loud

Never can never will can't hold us down

Check it

Lil' Kim：

Here's something I just can't understand

If a guy have three girls then he's the man

He can even give her some head then s*x her raw

If a girl do the same then she's a w***e

But the tables 'bout to turn I bet my fame on it

Cats take my ideas and put they name on it

It's alright though you can't hold me down

I got to keep on movin'

To all my girls with a man who be tryna 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

Christina Aguilera：

You're just a little boy you think you're so cute so coy

You must talk so big to make up for smaller things

Said you're just a little boy all you do is annoy

You must talk so big to make up for smaller things
