Can't Hold Us Down chords by Christina Aguilera (Ver. 2)

Intro: Cm  G#   2x

  Cm
So - 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
     Cm
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:
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...


  Cm
So - 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
    Cm
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
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
     G#
It's aight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
           Fm
To all my girls with a man who be tryin' to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
    Cm
You 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
