featuring Lil’ Kim

So- What am I not s’pposed to have an opinion
Should I keep 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 every 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
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
Who have come across a man who don’t respect your worth
Thinkin’ all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin’ ’em know we’re gonna stand our ground
So lift you hands higher 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.
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 ’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 whore
I don’t understand why it’s OK,
The guy gets all the glory and the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us, everybody sang

CHORUS-repeat

Lil’ Kim:
Check it- 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 can do the same, then she’s a whore
But the table’s about to turn
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 name is wack
And Lil’ Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back

You’re just a little boy
Think you’re so cute, so coy
You must talk so big to make up for smaller things
You’re just a little boy
All you do is annoy
You must talk so big to make up for smaller things

CHORUS-repeat 2X

Can’t hold us down!
(repeat and fade out)
