CANT HOLD US
DOWN
CHRISTINA AGUILLERA (FT. LIL KIM)
So what am I not supposed to have an
opinion
Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cos 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
Making 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
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't
respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not
heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout out loud!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our
ground
Lift your hands high and wave them 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 by the message I'm
bringing
Call me whatever cos 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 it's okay
The guy can get away with it & the girl gets
named
All my ladies come together and make a
change
Start a new beginning for us everybody sing
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't
respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not
heard
What do we do girls?
Shout Out Loud!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our
ground
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:]
Check it - Here's something I just can't
understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex a roar
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 airight 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
But you're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things
So 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...

This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't
respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not
heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout out loud!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our
ground
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

This is for my girls all around the world

Who've come across a man who don't
respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not
heard
So what do we do girls?
Should out loud!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our
ground
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
Spread the word, can't hold us down

ROYALS
LORDE
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the
movies
And I'm not proud of my address,
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose,
trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel
room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our
dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach,
diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your
love affair.
And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood,
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.
And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.
Ooh ooh oh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed,
And I'm in love with being queen.
Ooh ooh oh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair.
And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me livep that fantasy.

[Verse 2]
My friends and Iwe've cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the
party.
And everyone who knows us knows that
we're fine with this,
We didn't come from money.

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose,

trippin' in the bathroom.
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel
room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our
dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach,
diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your
love affair
