Intro: 2x
Cmi
So - what am I not s 'pposed to have an opinion
Should I keep quiet just because I 'm a woman
G#
Call me a bitch 'cause I speak shats on my mind
Guess it 's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
Fmi
When a female fires back
Suddenly big takler don 't know how to act
Cmi
So he does what every little boy would do
Making up a few false rumors or to
Fmi
That for sure is not a man to me
Slanderin ' names for popularity
Cmi
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
Ref.:
Cmi
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come across a man that don 't respect your worth
G#
Thinkin ' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout out loud
Cmi
Lettin ' 'em know we 're gonna stand our ground
So lift your hands higher and wave 'em proud
G#
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can 't hold us down
Cmi
Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
G#
Nobody can hold us down
Never can never will...
Cmi
So - what am I not supposed to say what I 'm saying
Are you offended with the message I 'm bringin '
G#
Call me whatever 'cause your words don 't mean a thing
Guess you ain 't even a man enough to handle what I sing
Fmi
If you look back in history
It 's a common double standard of society
Cmi
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
Fmi
I don 't understand why is 's OK
The guy can get away with it the girl gets named
Cmi
All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us,everybody sang

Lil' Kim
Cmi
Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy has three girls then he's the man
G#
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl do the same, then you she's a whore
Cmi
But the table's bout to turn I bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
G#
It's aight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
Fmi
To all my girls with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
Cmi
You need to let him know that his game is wack
And Lil'Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
Cmi
You're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
G#
You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things
Cmi
You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
G#
You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things
