Christina Aguilera - Can't Hold Us Down/Lil Kim (Jellojess Rox) LYRICS

So, what am I not supposed 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

Making up a few false rumors or two
That for sure is not a man to me
Slandering names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy (so sad)
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say

This is for my girls all around the world (around the world)

Lettin 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So lift your hands higher and wave 'em proud (ohh)
Take a deep breath and say it loud (ohh)
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 am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended with the message I'm bringing
Call 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 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 okay
The guy can get away with it the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And sta
