Can´t Hold Us Down Chords & Lyrics - Christina Aguilera

Intro: Cm G# 2x

So[Cm] - 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

[Fm]When a female fires back
Suddenly big takler don 't know how to act
[Cm]So he does what every little boy would do
Making up a few false rumors or to
[Fm]That for sure is not a man to me
Slanderin ' names for popularity
It's [Cm]sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it 's time for me to come and give you more to say

[CHORUS]
[Cm]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
[Cm]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
[Cm]Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
[G#]Nobody can hold us down
Never can never will...

So[Cm] - 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

[Fm]If you look back in history
It 's a common double standard of society
The [Cm]guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore
[Fm]I don 't understand why is 's OK
The guy can get away with it the girl gets named
[Cm]All my ladies come together and make a change
And start a new beginning for us,everybody sang
[CHORUS]
[Cm]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
[Cm]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

Lil' Kim
[Cm]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
[Cm]But the table's bout to turn I bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's [G#]aight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my g[Fm]irls with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You [Cm]need to let him know that his game is wack
And Lil'Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
[Cm]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
[Cm]You're just a little boy
All you do is annoy
[G#]You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things
[CHORUS 2X]
[Cm]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
[Cm]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
fade
[Cm] A [G#]h… [Cm] , [G#] can't hold us down
[Cm] A [G#]h… [Cm] , [G#] can't hold us down
