This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
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
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 (so, 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 (around the world)
Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth (woah)
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard (woah)
So what do we do, girls? Shout louder
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground (stand our ground)
So lift your hands higher and wave 'em proud (woah)
Take a deep breath and say it loud (woah)
Never can, never will, can't hold us down (woah)
Nobody can hold us down (hold us down)
Nobody can hold us down (hold us down)
Nobody can hold us down (hold us down)
Never can, never will
So, what, am I not supposed to say what I'm sayin'?
Are you offended with the message I'm bringin'?
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 beginnin' for us, everybody sing
This is for my girls all around the world ('round the world) (yeah)
Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth (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 louder
Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground (we standin' our ground on this one)
So lift your hands higher and wave 'em proud (woah)
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down (check it)
Here's somethin' I just can't understand
If a guy have three girls then he's the man
He can even give her some head and sex her raw
If a girl do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's 'bout to turn, I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put they name on it
It's aight though, you can't hold me down (oh no)
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryna mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his game is whack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
You're just a little boy
You 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, oh
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth (respect your worth, oh)

Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground (we stand our ground)
So lift your hands higher and wave 'em proud (oh, ooh-ooh)
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down (oh-ooh)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

"You must talk so big, to make up for smaller things"
BEST line hahahaha
to all you fucks who said you loved this song, yet called christina a whore...you're all ignorant assholes..because the point of the song is that guys can do whatever they want, and then girls get the double-standard..and then all you crazy fucks are sitting here doing the same thing to her because she wants to express her freedom of speech... fuck most of you who replied to this song. she and all women can do whatever they please, and to be throwing around the words: slut, whore, hoe, etc. is just plain going against what this song is supposed to represent. thank you and good night.
THANK YOU!<br /> COMPLETELY 100% AGREE.<br /> Ignorant haters stfu, plz & ty.
This song is like a modern day version of 'I will survive.' I love the fact that it points out how guys get praised for being players, and how girls are just thought of as sluts. And I love what lil kim says. Especially: "Here's something I just can't understand, If a guy have 3 girls than he's the man, he can even give her some head and sex her raw, if a girl do the same than she's a whore." It's so true-- It's a girls anthem.
I hate the fact that there is a double standard. Men know that they can do whatever they want to and not get hollered at. That is a load of crap. I'm so glad that this song points it out. It's bout time that women had their own anthem. Thank you Christina!
This song has a true meaning to it! I love it! If only she didn't act like such a trashy slut, it would be even better!
i dont really ike christina but this song is great it really puts men in their place!!!! just wear some clothes please!!
pegz...., now that christina has started wearing clothes..., im not too sure i like it! shes supposed to be this brilliant, sexual girl and now shes like...., not
well if you watch this video the guy aint sayion nothing bout her having an opinion i meen like come on i like her and all but she was walking down a fake ghetto looking like a hooker.....no disrespect to x-tina or anything but she needs to think before she makes the video next time
This song is crap. OK, it's got a good beat, I'll give it that--I actually do enjoy listening to it, but it bothers me. The lyrics I mean. The song starts out nicely, with noble aspirations, but then the whole point of the song is basically "Guys can't be sluts, so we should be able to be them too." Like, there's this double standard--and instead of taking the high road and trying to change it, they take the low road, like "Well if they can do it so can I." That's the response children make.
It bothers me because they have an opportunity to actually say something, and they totally blow it. "I bet my fame on it," "We standing our ground on this one!" What, women's lib isn't enough for you? Female genital mutilation of honor killings or the extreme lack of women in elected office doesn't register up there with, "I wanna screw a bunch of guys"?!
This song lyrically just shoots itself in the foot.
"If you look back in history, it's a common standard of mediocrity. Why aim high when you can aim low. Some want to come, but I want to go."
obvioulsy people wont respect her if she dresses like a hooker
