CAN'T HOLD US DOWN
By: Christina Aguilera f/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 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 name 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 have come across a man that don't respect your worth
Thinkin all women 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 high 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 supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended by the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't ever 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 sang

Chorus

Lil' Kim:
Here's somthin' I just can't understand
If a guy has 3 girls then he's the man
Ha can even give her some head, the sex a roar
If a girl does the same then she's a whore
But the tables about to turn i bet my fame on it
cats take my ideas and put their name on it
it's a'ight though, 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 wack
And that Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera are back

Your just a little boy
Think your so cute, so coy
Must talk so big to make up for smaller things
Your just a little boy
All you do is annoy
Must talk so big to make up for smaller things

Chorus x2

Can't hold us down
