HMM
SO, WHAT AM I NOT S'POSED TO
HAVE AN OPINION
SHOULD I BE 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, THE TARGET
DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACT
SO, HE DOES WHAT
ANY LITTLE BOY WOULD DO
MAKIN' UP A FEW
FALSE RUMOURS 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 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 S'POSED TO SAY
WHAT I'M SAYIN'
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 OKAY
THE GUY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT
THE GIRL GETS NAMED
ALL MY LADIES COME TOGETHER
AND MAKE A CHANGE
AND START
A NEW BEGINNIN' FOR US
EVERYBODY SING
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
HERE'S SOMETHIN'
I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND
IF THE GUY HAVE THREE GIRLS
THEN HE'S THE MAN
HE CAN EVEN GIVE HER SOME HEAD
THEN SEX HER RAW
IF THE GIRL DO THE SAME
THEN SHE'S A WHORE
BUT THE TABLE'S 'BOUT TO TURN
I'LL BET MY FAME ON IT
CATS TAKE MY IDEAS
AND PUT THEY NAME ON IT
IT'S ALRIGHT THOUGH
YOU CAN'T HOLD ME DOWN
I GOT TO KEEP ON MOVIN'
TO ALL MY GIRLS WITH A MAN
WHO BE TRY'NA 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

YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE BOY
THINK YOU'RE SO CUTE, SO COY
YOU MUST TALK SO BIG
TO MAKE UP FOR SMALLER THINGS

TO MAKE UP FOR SMALLER THINGS
THIS IS FOR MY GIRLS
ALL AROUND THE WORLD
WHO HAVE COME ACROSS A MAN
