[00:00.00]Christina Aguilera - Can't Hold Us Down
[00:17.53]
[00:19.53]So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
[00:22.64]Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman
[00:24.78]Call me a bitch cos I speak what's on my mind
[00:26.75]Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
[00:29.75]When a female fires back
[00:31.70]Suddenly the target don't know how to act
[00:34.01]So he does what any little boy will do
[00:36.53]Making up a few false rumors or two
[00:39.17]That for sure is not a man to me
[00:41.48]Slanderin' names for popularity
[00:43.78]It's sad you only get your fame through controversy 
[00:46.07]But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say
[03:13.36][02:54.62][01:46.87][00:49.03]This is for my girls all around the world
[03:15.72][02:56.47][01:48.89][00:50.99]Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
[03:18.19][02:58.95][01:51.40][00:53.53]Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
[03:20.51][03:01.30][01:53.74][00:55.80]So what do we do girls?
[03:21.88][03:02.65][01:55.08][00:57.18]Shout louder!
[03:23.01][03:03.76][01:56.32][00:58.43]Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
[03:25.29][03:06.08][01:58.53][01:00.59]Lift your hands high and wave them proud
[03:27.76][03:08.50][02:00.97][01:03.07]Take a deep breath and say it loud
[03:30.03][03:10.73][02:03.20][01:05.38]Never can, never will, can't hold us down
[01:08.31]Nobody can hold us down
[01:10.73]Nobody can hold us down
[01:13.07]Nobody can hold us down
[01:16.33]Never can, never will
[01:17.45]So what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
[01:20.21]Are you offended by the message I'm bringing
[01:22.63]Call me whatever cos your words don't mean a thing
[01:24.65]Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing
[01:27.69]If you look back in history
[01:29.51]It's a common double standard of society
[01:32.04]The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
[01:34.33]While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore
[01:36.94]I don't understand why it's okay
[01:39.32]The guy can get away with it & the girl gets named
[01:41.72]All my ladies come together and make a change
[01:44.11]Start a new beginning for us everybody sing
 
[02:05.99]Check it - Here's something I just can't understand
[02:08.25]If the guy have three girls then he's the man
[02:10.45]He can either give us some head, sex her off
[02:12.90]If the girl do the same, then she's a whore
[02:15.29]But the table's about to turn
[02:16.88]I'll bet my fame on it
[02:17.91]Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
[02:19.84]It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
[02:22.46]I got to keep on movin'
[02:24.90]To all my girls with a man who be tryin to mack
[02:27.37]Do it right back to him and let that be that
[02:29.83]You need to let him know that his game is whack
[02:32.09]And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
[02:35.16]But you're just a little boy
[02:36.59]Think you're so cute, so coy
[02:39.92]You must talk so big 
[02:41.70]To make up for small lil' things
[02:43.63]So you're just a little boy
[02:45.64]All you'll do is annoy
[02:49.56]You must talk so big 
[02:51.31]To make up for small lil' things
[02:53.19]This is for my girls...
[03:32.71]
[03:48.99]Spread the word, can't hold us down
