ft. Lil' Kim



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 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 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 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 supposed 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 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



CHORUS
