Christina Aguilera - Can?t hold us down
Say, what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should I keep quiet just 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 (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
This is for my girls all around the world (around the world)
Who will cross a man that don't respect your word
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
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 (hold us down)
Nobody can hold us (hold us down)
Nobody can hold us (hold us down)
Never can never will
Say, 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 a change
And start a new beginning for us, everybody say
This is for my girls all around the world (around the world)
Who will cross a man that don't respect your word
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
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
Here's something I just can't understand
If a guy has three girls than he's the man
He can even give her some head and sex and roar
If a girl do the same than she's a whore
But the tables 'bout 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
I gotta keep on movin'
To all my girls who got 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 do is annoy
You must talk so big to make up for smaller things
This is for my girls all around the world
Who will cross a man that don't respect your word
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
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
This is for my girls
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have cross a man that don't respect your word
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud (shout out loud)
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
This is for my girls all around the world (around the world)
Who will cross a man that don't respect your word
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
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
