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
|
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
|

|
Letting them know we're gonna
|
stand our ground

|
and wave 'em proud
|
Take a deep breath

|
Never can never will
|
can't hold us down

Spread the word
|
can't hold us down
