Can't Hold Us Down (Jacknife Lee Vocal Mix)So what am I not supposed to have an opinionShould I be 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 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 with the message I'm bringing 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 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 You can't get rid of us What do we do girls? Shout louder! Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground We standing our ground on this one 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 Check it [Lil' Kim:] Here's something I just can't understand If a guy have three girls then he's the man He can even give her some head or sex her raw If a girl do the same, then she's a whore But the table's about to turn I bet my fame on it Cats take my ideas and put their name on it It's alright though, you can't hold me down I got to keep on movin' To all my girls with a man who be tryna 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 smaller things Said 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 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 '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 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 'em proud Take a deep breath and say it loud Never can, never will, can't hold us down Spread the word, can't hold us down We here, we back again Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera Can't hold us down |
