Can't Hold Us Down Lyrics

So-what am I not supposed to have an opinion

Should I keep quiet just because I'm a women

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 every little boy would do

Makin' up a few false rumors or two

That for sure is not a man for 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 and not heard

So what do we do girls, shout out loud

Lettin 'em know were gonna 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

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 you 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 os society

The guy gets all the glory the more he can score

While the girl can do the same yet you call her a whore

I don't understand why it's OK,

The guy can get a way 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]

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 and not heard

So what do we do girls, shout out loud

Lettin 'em know were gonna stand our ground

So lift your ahnds high 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 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 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 big to make up for smaller things



[Chorus: x2]



Uh, oh oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Can't hold us down



Yeah, we here, we back again, yeah,

Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera



Can't hold us down
