Can't Hold Us Down Lyrics by Christina Aguilera Christina Aguilera , Lil' Kim
Below, you will find the lyrics for Can't Hold Us Down by Christina Aguilera.
Verse 1
So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should 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 will 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
Chorus 1
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man
That don't respect your worth
Chorus 1
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
So what am I not supposed to say
What I'm saying
Verse 2
Are you offended by the message I'm bringing
Call me whatever cos your words
Don't mean a thing
Verse 2
Guess you ain't even a man enough
To handle what I sing
Verse 2
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
Verse 2
I don't understand why it's okay
The guy can get away with it the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
Start a new beginning for us everybody sing
Chorus 2
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man
That don't respect your worth
Chorus 2
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
What do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Chorus 2
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
Verse 3
Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's about to turn up
Verse 3
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin to 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
Bridge
But you're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
Bridge
You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things
Bridge
So you're just a little boy
All you'll do is annoy
Bridge
You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things
Bridge
This is for my girls
Chorus 3
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man
That don't respect your worth
Chorus 3
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Should out loud!
Chorus 3
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
That don't respect your worth
Chorus 3
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Chorus 3
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
