Kevin Szymanski - Can't Hold Us Down lyrics

[Verse 1: Christina] Hmmmmm So, what am I not 'sposed to have an opinion? Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman? Call me a b**h 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 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 [Hook: Christina] This is for my girls all around the world Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth Thinkin' all woman 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 them proud Take a deep breathe and say it loud Never can, never will, can't hold us down Nobody can hold us down, nobody can hold us down Nobody gonna hold us down, never can, never will [Verse 2: Christina] So, what am I not 'sposed to say what I'm sayin'? Are you offended with the message I'm bringin'? Call me whatever cause 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 who*e 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 And start a new beginning for us, everybody sing [Hook: Christina (Lil' Kim)] This is for my girls all around the world (Yeah) Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth Thinkin' all woman should be seen not heard (You can't get rid of us) So what do we do girls? Shout louder Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground (We standin' our ground on this one) Lift your hands high and wave them proud Take a deep breathe and say it loud Never can, never will, can't hold us down (Check it) [Verse 3: Lil' Kim] Here's something I just can't understand If a guy have three girls than he's the man He can even give her some head, then s** her raw If a girl do the same than she's a who*e But the tables 'bout to turn, I bet my fame on it Cats take my ideas and put they 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 tryna 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 gotcha back [Bridge: Christina] You're just a little boy, you think you're so cute, so coy You must talk so big, to make up for smaller things Said 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 [Hook: Christina] This is for my girls all around the world When you come across a man that don't respect your word Thinkin' all woman should be seen not heard So what do we do girls? Shout louder Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground So put your hands high and wave 'em 'round Take a deep breathe and say it loud Never can, never will, can't hold us down This is for my girls all around the world When you come across a man that don't respect your word Thinkin' all woman should be seen not heard So what do we do girls? Shout louder Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground So put your hands high and wave 'em 'round Take a deep breathe and say it loud Never can, never will, can't hold us down [Breakdown: Christina (Lil' Kim)] (Uh, ayo ayo, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh) Spread the word (Can't hold us down, c'mon, uh) Yeah we here, we back again, yeah Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera Yeah (Can't hold us down, uh)
