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 & the girl gets named
|
All my ladies come together and make a change
|
Start a new beginning for us everybody sing
|
|
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
|
What do we do girls?
|
Shout louder!
|
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
|
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
|
|
[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
|
|
But you're just a little boy
|
Think you're so cute, so coy
|
You must talk so big
|
To make up for small lil' things
|
So you're just a little boy
|
All you'll do is annoy
|
You must talk so big
|
To make up for small lil' things
|
|
This is for my girls...
|
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 'em proud
|
Take a deep breath and say it loud
|
Never can, never will, can't hold us down
|
|
This is for my girls all around the world
|
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
