Christina Aguilera Ft. Lil\' Kim 

Stripped 

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 cuz 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 

 

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 

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 cuz 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 sang 

 

This is for my girls all around the world

Lettin 'em know we're 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 

 

Here's somethin' I just can't understand 

If a guy have three girls then he's the man 

He can even give her some head and sex her off 

But if a girl do the same then she's a whore 

But the tables 'bout to turn, I bet my fame on it 

Cats take my ideas and put they name on it 

It's aight tho, you can't hold me down 

I got to keep on moving 

 

To all my girls with their man who be trying-a mac 

Do it right back to him and let that be that 

You need-a let him know that his game is whack 

And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got yo back 

 

Your just a little boy, think you're so cute, so coy 

You must talk so big to make up for smaller things 

So just-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
