Lil' Kim - Can'T Hold Us Down lyrics

[Christina Aguilera: Verse 1]

So what am I not s'pposed to have an opinion

Should I be 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

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

[CHORUS]

This is for my girls all around the world

Who have 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!

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...

[Christina Aguilera: Verse 2]

So what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying

Are you offended by the message I'm bringing

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

Start a new beginning for us everybody sang

[CHORUS]

[Lil' Kim:]

Check it - Here's something I just can't understand

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

He can either give us some head, sex her off

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 aiight 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

[Christina Aguilera:]

But you're just a little boy

Think you're so cute, so coy

You must talk so big

To make up for smaller things

So you're just a little boy

All you'll do is annoy

You must talk so big

To make up for smaller things

Repeat Chorus x2
