So what, am I not supposed to have an opinion? Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman? Call me a bitch 'cause 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, big talker don't know how to act So he does what every little boy would do Makin' 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 (it's so sad) 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 have come across a man who don't respect your worth Thinkin' all women should be seen, not heard So what do we do, girls? Shout out loud! Letting 'em know we're gonna stand our ground Lift your hands higher and wave 'em 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 with the message I'm bringing? Call me whatever, 'cause 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 And start a new beginning for us, everybody sing This is for my girls all around the world Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth Thinkin' all women should be seen, not heard (you can't get rid of us) So what do we do, girls? Shout out loud! Letting 'em know we're gonna stand our ground (We standin' our ground on this one) Lift your hands higher and wave 'em proud Take a deep breath and say it loud Never can, never will Can't hold us down (check it) Here's something I just can't understand If the guy have three girls, then he's the man He can even give her some head or sex her off But if the girl do the same, she's a whore But the table's about to turn, I bet my fame on it Cats take my ideas and put their name on it It's alright 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 Little Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back You're just a little boy Think you're so cute, so coy You must talk so big To make up for smaller things Said you're just a little boy All you do is annoy You must talk so big To make up for smaller things This is for my girls!
