Can't hold us down

so-what am i not s´pposed to have an opinion
should i keep quiet just because i´m a woman
call me a bitch cause i speak what´s on my mind
Guess it´s easier for you to swallow it i sat and smiled
When a female fires back sunddenly big talker don´t know how to act
so he does what every 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 youonly 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 out loud
Lettin´em know we´r gonna stand our ground
So lift your hands higher abd wave´em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
never can, never will
Can´t 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 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 gats 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 sang
{Chorus:}
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
{repeat Chorus, x2}
