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

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

Nobody can hold us down 

Nobody can hold us down
G# 
Nobody can hold us down 

Never can never will...

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

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
