Hold Us Down Video (MV)

So-What am I not s'pposed 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 every 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've come across a man that don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all woman should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So lift your hands higher 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 s'pposed 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 it's OK
The guy can get away with it, the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us, everybody sing

Chorus

Lil' Kim:

Now, here is 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 can do the same then she's a whore
But the table's about to turn, I bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas, they put they name on it
It's aight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To my girls to their man who be tryin' to mac
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his game is WAC
And Lil' Kim and Christina 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 do is annoy
You must talk so big to make up for smaller things

Chorus x2

Uh, oh oh
uh,uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, cant hold us down
