Can't hold us down (feat lil' kim)

So-What am i not s´pposed to have an opinion?
Should i be quiet 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 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
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 any 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 7X 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!
