Christina Aguilera - Can't Hold Us Down -(Featuring Lil' Kim)

So-What am i not s'pposed to have an opinion?

Should i be deprived to speak because i'm a woman?

Call me a bitch (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 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 (so sad)

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 louder,

Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground (our ground)

So lift your hands high and wave'em proud (wohoh)

Take a deep breath and say it loud,

Never can, never will

Can't hold us down



Nobody can hold us down (us down)...Nobody can hold us down (us down)...Nobody can hold us down (hold us down)

Never can never will...



So what am i not supposed 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

Cuz 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 its OK,

The guy can get away with it while a girl gets named

All my ladies come together and make a change



Start a new beginning for us, everybody sing



Chorus



Lil' Kim:

Here's something I just can't understand

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

He can either give her some head, or sex her raw

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 aight 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



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'll do is annoy

You must talk so big, to make up for smaller things,

This is for my girls...



Repeat Chorus X2



Ahh Wahoo X7 ahh

Spread the word

Can't hold us down

Yeh we here

We Back again

Yeh Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera

Yeh

Can’t hold us down!
