[Intro:]
In my life
I´ve seen
It all
Now it´s time
For me
To pass
On this
Knowledge to you
All my sisters
My troubled sisters
This is my
Gift to you
[1st Verse:]
Been many days
Couldn´t take
The pain
Felt like
I should take
My life away
See it everyday
In every other
Young sister´s face
(Young sister´s face)
See´em cryin´ out
Life full of doubt
Runnin´ in the streets
No self esteem
Thinkin´ that
Used to be me
What a shame
[B-Sect:]
And life
Is a mutha
It´s hard
To sit back
And see
The same thing
That happened to me
Happen to you
This ain´t love
But here´s
The love
I wanna give to you
[Chorus:]
It dosen´t
Matter what
They say or do
Don´t let´em
Get to you
Don´t be afraid
You can, you can
You can breakthrough
Take what
I´ve been through
To see that
You can´t
Hold a good
Woman down
Went through
The same point
Of givin´ up
I-I felt
Like I had enough
Went to the edge
Of the ledge
But I didn´t jump
"My Life"
Will sum it up
You can´t
Hold a good
Woman down
[2nd Verse:]
When I used to see
My daddy beat
My mother down
Down to her feet
I used to say
That ain´t gon´
Never be me
(Never be me)
Now look at you
Bruised up
From him
Girl recognize
You´re better then
Him tellin´ you
That he´ll never hit
You again
Girl don´t cry
[Repeat B-Sect 1x]
[Repeat Chorus 1x]
[Bridge:]
Through your changes
I will hold your hand
Use my songs
As remedies
Whenever you´re feelin´
Down or blue
I´ll be there for you
Trust
And know
That I´ve been
Where you´re at
Seen the things
That you can see
Lookin´ at you
Resembles me
But you gotta
Hold your own
[Repeat Chorus 1x]
[Vamp:]
Can´t hold me
Down
Can´t hold me
Down
Can´t hold me
Down
Can´t hold me
Down
Can´t hold me
Down
Can´t hold me
Down
You can´t hold me
Can´t hold me
Down
Can´t hold me
Down
Can´t hold me
Down
Can´t hold me
Down
Can´t hold me
Down
Can´t hold me
Down
You can´t hold me
[Outro:]
There you have it
I´m still with you
My sisters
My troubled sisters
I still have troubles, too
You´re not alone
I´ll always be there
For you
Rock on
You can´t hold
A good woman down
