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 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 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 Lettin 'em know we're gonna stand our ground So lift your hands high 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 Nobody can 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 its OK, The guy can get away with it the girl gets named All my ladies come together and make it change And start a new beginning for us, everybody sang
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 Lettin 'em know we're gonna stand our ground So lift your hands high and wave 'em proud Take a deep breath and say it loud Never can, never will Can't hold us down
Lil' Kim: Now here's something I just can't understand If the guy have three girls then he's the man He can even give her some head, or sex her off But if a girl do the same, she's a whore
But the tables about to turn I bet my fame on it cats take my ideas, and put they name on it It's aight thow, you can't hold me down I got to keep on moving To my girls to their man who be trying to mac 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 Yo back
Your 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
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 Lettin 'em know we're gonna stand our ground So lift your hands high and wave 'em proud Take a deep breath and say it loud Never can, never will Can't hold us down
