Can't Hold Us Down So, what, am I not supposed 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 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 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, so sad) 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 (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! Lettin 'em know we're gonna stand our ground (Stand our ground) So 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 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 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 okay, 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 sing [chorus:] This is for my girls all around the world (around the world) Who have come across a man That don't respect your worth (repect your worth) Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard (can't get rid of us) So what do we do girls, shout louder Lettin 'em know we're gonna stand our ground (we're standing our ground this time) So 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:] Here's something I just can't understand If the guy have three girls then he's the man He can even give her some head, or sex her off But if a girl do the same, she's a whore But the tables about to turn I 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 moving To my girls to their man who be trying to mac 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 yo 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) 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 Lettin 'em know we're gonna stand our ground (stand our ground) So 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 Uh, oh oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh Can't hold us down [Lil Kim:] Yeah, we here, we back again, yeah, Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera Can't hold us down
