Lyrics
[verse]
They want us quiet, they want us small
Talking down like we don't stand tall
But every word they throw our way
Just makes us louder every day
[verse]
Sister, speak your mind out loud
Never shrink yourself for the crowd
We built this out of grit and grace
Ain't nobody taking our place
[chorus]
You can't hold us down
No, you can't hold us down
We rise together, we don't back down
Try to knock us, we still stand ground
You can't hold us down
Never gonna hold us down
Two voices strong, one sound
[verse]
They said we'd fold beneath the noise
Said a woman's strength is just a poise
But we turned the whispers into fire
Climbing every hour, climbing higher
[chorus]
You can't hold us down
No, you can't hold us down
We rise together, we don't back down
Try to knock us, we still stand ground
You can't hold us down
Never gonna hold us down
Two voices strong, one sound
[bridge]
Sisterhood is power, sisterhood is real
No one gets to tell us how to feel
We're the echo that won't fade away
Louder, prouder every single day
[chorus]
You can't hold us down
No, you can't hold us down
We rise together, we don't back down
Try to knock us, we still stand ground
You can't hold us down
Never gonna hold us down
Two voices strong, one sound
