So-What am i not s'pposed to have an opinion?
|
Should i be quiet 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 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!
