So - what am I not s 'pposed to have an opinion 
Should I keep quiet just because I 'm a woman

Guess it 's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When a female fires back 
Suddenly big takler don 't know how to act

So he does what every little boy would do 
Making up a few false rumors or to

Slanderin ' names for popularity

But now it 's time for me to come and give you more to say

Are you offended with the message I 'm bringin '

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

G#
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl do the same, then you 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 aight 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 wack
And Lil'Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back

Think you're so cute, so coy

To make up for smaller things

You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things
