Can't Hold Us Down (feat. Lil' Kim)

Hmm

Hmm

Say

What am I not supposed 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 the target 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

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 have come across a man that don't respect your worth, ohh

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard

Ohh

So what do we do girls, shout louder

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

Whoaa

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 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 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 it change

And start a new beginning for us

Everybody sang

This is for my girls all around the world

(around the world)

Yeah

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

(repect your worth)

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard

(can't get rid of us)

So what do we do girls, shout louder

Lettin 'em know we're gonna stand our ground

(we're standing 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

Check

Now here's something I just can't understand

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

He can even give her some head, or sex her off

But if a girl do the same, she's a whore

But the tables about to turn

I bet my fame on it

Cats take my ideas, and put they name on it

It's aight though, you can't hold me down

(hold me)

I got to keep on moving

To my girls to their man who be trying to mac

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 Yo back

Your 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 do is annoy

You must talk so big

To make up for smaller things

(This is for my girls)

This is for my girls all around the world, ohh

Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth (spread your worth)

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard

So what do we do girls, shout louder

Shout louder

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

This is for the girls all around the world

(all my girls)

Who have come across a man that don't respect

your worth (around the world)

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard

Yeah

So what do we do girls, shout louder

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

(stand our ground)

So lift your hands high and wave ' em proud

Ohh

Take a deep breath and say it loud

Never can, never will

Can't hold us down
