Christina Agilera cant hold us down Lyrics

so, what am i not supposed to have my own opinion
should i keep quiet just because im a women?
Call me a bytch cuz i speak whats on my mind
Guess its easier for you to swallow if i saw and smiled

When a female fires back
suddenly the big talker dont kno how to act
so he does what every little boii would doo
making up a few false rumors or two
that for sure is not a man to mee
slanderin' names for popularity
its sad you onlii get your fame thro controversey (so so sad)

[ Chorus ]
This is for my girls all around the world
who have came across a man that dont respect your worth
thinking all women should be not heard
so what do we do girls? shout out loud!
letting 'em kno were gonna stand our ground
soo lift your hands higher and wave 'em proud
take a deep breath and say it loud!
never can, never will
cant hold us down!

nobody can hold us down (x3)
never can,never will

so what am i not supposed to say what im saying?
are you affended by the message im bringing?
call me whatever cuz your words dont mean a thing
cuz u aint even a man enough to handle what i sing!
if you look back in history
its a common double standared of society
they guy gets all the glory the more he can score
while the girl can do the same but yet you call her a w____
i dont understand why its 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 ]

( LiL KiM )
check it
heres something i just cant understand
if a guy have 3 girlz then hes the man
he can even give her some head or s__ her off
but if a girl do the same then shes a w____
but the tables 'bout to turn
i bet my fame on it
cats take my idea and put their name on it
its iight tho
u cant hold me down!
i got to keep on moving!!

for all my girlz with a man that be trying to mac
do it right back to him and let that b that
u need to let him kno that his game is whack
and lil kim and christina aguliera got your back!!

( christina aguliera )

your just a lilttle boii
think your soo cute soo coy
you must talk s_____g to make up for smaller things
your just a little boii
all you do is annoy
you must talk s_____g to make up for smaller things

[ chorus x2 ]
