Can't Hold Us Down
↑Top
So, what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should I be quiet to speak just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch (bitch) because 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 the target don't know how to act
So he does what any little boy would do
Making up a few false promises or two
Now for sure, it's not a man to me
Scattering names for popularity
It's sad you only get your name through controversy (it's 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 will come across a man that don't respect your worth
Thinking 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)
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say out loud
Never can, never will
CAN'T HOLD US DOWN!
Nobody can hold us down (hold us down)
Nobody can hold us down (hold us down)
Nobody can hold us down (hold us down)
Never can, never will
So, what I am not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended with the message I'm bringing
Call me whatever cause your words dont mean a thing
Cause you ain't even man enough to handle what I say
When you look back at 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 thing yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's okay
A guy can get away with it
And the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us
Everybody say
This is for my girls all around the world (Yeah)
Who will come across a man that don't respect your worth (respect your worth).
Thinking all women should be seen not heard (Cant get rid of us)
So what do we do girls?
SHOUT LOUDER!
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say out loud
Never can, never will
CAN'T HOLD US DOWN!
Lil'Kim
Here's something I just can't understand
If a guy has 3 girls then he't the man
He can even give us some head, and the sex is raw
But the girl do the same and she's a whore
But the tables bout to turn, I bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
Its aight though you cant hold me down
I got to keep on moving
To all my girls with a guy who be trying to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know his game is wack and
Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
Christina
Such a little boy, think you're so cute and coy
You must talk so big to make up for smaller things
But 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 will come across a man that don't respect your worth (respect your worth).
Thinking all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls?
SHOUT LOUDER!
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say out loud
Never can, never will
CAN'T HOLD US DOWN!
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say out loud
Never can, never will
CAN'T HOLD US DOWN!
Lil Kim
