Christina Aguilera "Can't Hold Us Down" Songtext

Can't Hold Us Down

So, what am I not supposed to have an opinionShould I keep quiet just because I'm a womanCall me a bitch 'cause I speak what's on my mindGuess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When a female fires backSuddenly big talker don't know how to actSo he does what any little boy would doMaking up a few false rumors or two

That for sure is not a man to meSlandering names for popularityIt's sad you only get your fame through controversy, so sadBut now it's time for me to come and give you more to say

This is for my girls all around the worldWho have come across a man that don't respect your worthThinking all women should be seen not heardSo what do we do, girls, shout louder

Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our groundLift your hands higher and wave 'em proudTake a deep breath and say it loudNever 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 am I not supposed to say, what I'm sayingAre you offended with the message I'm bringingCall me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing'Cause you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing

If you look back in historyIt's a common double standard of societyThe guy gets all the glory, the more he can scoreWhile the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore

I don't understand why it's okayThe guy can get away with it, the girl gets namedAll my ladies come together and make a changeAnd start a new beginning for us, everybody sing

This is for my girls all around the world(Round the world)Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth(Respect your worth)Thinking all women should be seen not heardSo what do we do, girls, shout louder

Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our groundSo lift your hands higher and wave 'em proudTake a deep breath and say it loudNever can, never will, can't hold us down

Check itHere's something I just can't understandIf a guy have three girls then he's the manHe can even give us some head and sex her rawIf the girl do the same, then she's a whore

But the table's about to turnI'll bet my fame on itCats take my ideas and put they name on itIt's aight though, you can't hold me downI got to keep on moving

To all my girls with a man who be trying to mackDo it right back to him and let that be thatYou need to let him know that his game is whackAnd Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back

You're just a little boyThink you're so cute so coyYou must talk so bigTo make up for smaller things

Said you're just a little boyAll you do is annoyYou must talk so bigTo make up for smaller things

This is for my girlsThis is for my girls all around the worldWho have come across a man that don't respect your worth(Respect your worth)Thinking all women should be seen not heardSo what do we do, girls, shout louder(Shout louder)

Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground(Stand our ground)So lift your hands higher and wave 'em proudTake a deep breath and say it loudNever can, never will, can't hold us down

This is for my girls all around the world(For my girls)Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth(Around the world)Thinking all women should be seen not heardSo what do we do girls, shout louder

Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our groundSo lift your hands higher and wave 'em proudTake a deep breath and say it loudNever can, never will, can't hold us down

Spread the wordCan't hold us downYeah, we here, we back againYeah, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera, yeahCan't hold us down
