So what am I not supposed to
have an opinion
Should I be quiet just
because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cos 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 the target don't know
how to act
So he does what any little boy
will do
Making 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
This is for my girls
all around the world
Who've come across a man
who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women
should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls
Shout louder
Letting them know we're gonna
stand our ground
Lift your hands high
and wave them 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 by the message
I'm bringing
Call me whatever
cos 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
Start a new beginning
for us everybody sing
This is for my girls
all around the world
Who've come across a man
who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be
seen not heard
What do we do girls
Shout louder
Letting them know we're gonna
stand our ground
Lift your hands high
and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath
and say it loud
Never can never will
can't hold us down
Here's something
I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls
then he's the man
He can either give us
some head sex her off
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 their name on it
It's aiight though
you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man
who be tryin 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
But you're just a little boy
Think you're so cute so coy
You must talk so big
To make up for
small lil' things
So you're just a little boy
All you'll do is annoy
You must talk so big
To make up for
small lil' things
This is for my girls
This is for my girls
all around the world
Who've come across a man
who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women
should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls
Shout louder
Letting them know we're gonna
stand our ground
Lift your hands high
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
Who've come across a man
who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women
should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls
Shout louder
Letting them know we're gonna
stand our ground
Lift your hands high
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
