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 sack your smile When a female fires back, suddenly they talk and don't know how to act So here's what that little boy will do, making up a few false promises too Now for sure he's not a man to me, it's matter of names for popularity He said you only get to be 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 Welcome here, they don't just make you look Pickin' off women, show me, seein' I know What do we do, girl? Shout out loud, let them know we're gonna stand our ground Put your hands high and wave them round 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 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 say If you look back at history It's a common double standard of society The guy gets all the love, 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 but here the girl gets named All my ladies come together and make a change It's not a new beginning for us, everybody say This is for my girls all around the world Welcome here, they don't just make you look Pickin' off women, show me, seein' I know What do we do, girl? Shout out loud We standin' our ground Take a deep breath and say Never can, never will Here's somethin' I just can't understand If a guy have three girls then he's the man He could even give us some headless sex or war If a girl do the same then she's a whore But the table's bout 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' Two of 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 wack And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back I think you're so cute, so cool I talk so big To make a performance You're just a little boy All you do is ignore I talk so big To make a performance This is for my girls This pageant world What do we do, girls?
