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 Making up a few false rumors or two That for sure is not a man to me Slandering names for popularity It's sad you only get your fame through controversy, so sad 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 Thinking all women should be seen not heard So what do we do, girls, shout louder Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground 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 (Hold us down) Nobody can hold us down (Hold us down) Nobody can hold us down (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 bringing Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing 'Cause 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 beginning for us, everybody sing This is for my girls all around the world (Round the world) Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth (Respect your worth) Thinking 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 higher and wave 'em proud Take a deep breath and say it loud Never can, never will, can't hold us down Check it Here's something I just can't understand If a guy have three girls then he's the man He can even give us some head and sex her raw 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 they name on it It's aight though, you can't hold me down I got to keep on moving To all my girls with a man who be trying 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 You're just a little boy Think you're so cute so coy You must talk so big To make up for smaller things Said 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 This is for my girls all around the world Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth (Respect your worth) Thinking all women should be seen not heard So what do we do, girls, shout louder (Shout louder) Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground (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 This is for my girls all around the world (For my girls) Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth (Around the world) Thinking 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 higher 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 Yeah, we here, we back again Yeah, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera, yeah Can't hold us down
