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
