So, what am I not supposed to have an opinion ?
Should I keep 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 any little boy would do ,
Making up a few false rumors or two .
That for sure is not a man to me ,
Slandering 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 have come across a man that don't respect your worth ,
Thinking all women should be seen not heard ,
So what do we do, girls, shout louder !
Lettin' '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 ,
'Cause 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 that don't respect your worth ,
Thinking all women should be seen not heard,
So what do we do, girls, shout louder !
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground ,
So 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 !
