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



Lil' Kim:

Check it - 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...
