  DOm

So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
                                   
Should I keep quiet just because I'm a women
LAb
 Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind

Guess it's easier for you to swallow 
                    FAm
if I sat and smiled

When a female fires back suddenly big talker 

don't know how to act
DOm
So he does what every little boy would do

Makin' up a few false rumors or two
FAm   
 That for sure is not a man for me, 

slanderin' names for popularity
     DOm
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
       
DOm
 This is for my girls all around the world

Who have come across a man 

that don't respect your worth
LAb
Thinkin' all women should be seen and not heard

So what do we do girls, shout out loud
DOm
Lettin 'em know were gonna stand our ground

So lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
LAb
Take a deep breath and say it loud

Never can, never will
                  
Can't hold us down
DOm
 Nobody can hold us down, obody can hold us down
LAb
 Nobody can hold us down never can, never will

  DOm
So-what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying

Are you offended with the message I'm bringin'
LAb
 Call me whatever 

'cause you words don't mean a thing

Guess you ain't even a man 

enough to handle what I sing
FAm
 If you look back in history 

it's a common double standard os society
    DOm
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score

While the girl can do the same yet 

you call her a whore
FAm
I don't understand why it's OK,

The guy can get a way with it the girl gets named
DOm
All my ladies come together and make a change

And start a new beginning for us, everybody sang

DOm
This is for my girls all around the world

Who have come across a man 

that don't respect your worth
LAb
Thinkin' all women should be seen and not heard

So what do we do girls, shout out loud
DOm
Lettin 'em know were gonna stand our ground

So lift your ahnds high and wave 'em proud
LAb
Take a deep breath and say it loud

Never can, never will

Can't hold us down

DOm
Here's something I just can't understand

If the guy have three girls then he's the man
       LAb
He can even give her some head, or sex her off

But if a girl do the same, she's a whore
        DOm
But the tables about to turn

I bet my fame on it

Cats take my ideas, and put their name on it
       LAb
It's aight though, you can't hold me down

I got to keep on moving

      FAm
To my girls to their man who be trying to mac

Do it right back to him and let that be that
    DOm
You need to let him know that his game is whack

And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got yo back

You're just a little boy

Think you so cute, so coy
LAb
 You must talk so big to make up for smaller things
              DOm
You're just a little boy

All you do is annoy
LAb
 You must talk big to make up for smaller things

DOm
This is for my girls all around the world

Who have come across a man 

that don't respect your worth
LAb
Thinkin' all women should be seen and not heard
