1. So-What am i not s'pposed to have an opinion? Should i be quiet because i'm a woman? Call me a bitch (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 target don't know how to act So he does what any 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 that don't respect your worth Thinkin' all women should be seen, not heard So what do we do girls? Shout louder, Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground (our ground) So lift your hands high and wave'em proud (wohoh) Take a deep breath and say it loud, Never can, never will Can't hold us down
Nobody can hold us down(us down)... Nobody can hold us down(us down)... Nobody can hold us down(hold us down) Never can never will...
2. 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 Cuz 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 its OK, The guy can get away with it while any girl gets named All my ladies come together and make a change Start a new beginning for us, everybody sing
Chorus
Lil' Kim: Here's something I just can't understand If the guy have three girls then he's a man He can either give her some head, or sex her raw If the girl 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 aight 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
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'll do is annoy You must talk so big, to make up for smaller things, This is for my girls...
