00:00 [MUSIC - THE BADDEST, "DOUBLE STANDARDS"]
00:02 [CHEERING]
00:03 Huh.
00:13 Now, I wrote this song here about the double standards
00:17 in society between men and women.
00:20 Now, here we go.
00:21 One, two, three, four.
00:22 What am I not supposed to have an opinion?
00:24 Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman?
00:27 Call me a bitch because I speak what's on my mind.
00:29 Gets us easier for you to swallow if I sacrifice.
00:32 When a female fires back, you start a living tongue
00:35 and don't know how to act.
00:36 So we know what that hell dog would do,
00:39 make enough of you for a stint or two.
00:41 That was sure enough a man to be.
00:44 And the rest ain't so hard, you better see.
00:46 It's sad you wanna get your faith and pride to proceed.
00:48 So now it's time for me to come and give you what I say.
00:51 So my girls, I'm around the world.
00:53 I'm the next man that's gonna step your way.
00:56 Looking all professional, sitting out there.
00:58 What do we do about it?
01:00 Shut up.
01:01 No, no, no, we're gonna stand our ground.
01:03 Don't be a coward, baby.
01:05 Oh, don't take a deep breath and say it loud.
01:08 Never can, never will, can't hold us down.
01:11 Nobody can take a hold of us down.
01:13 Nobody can make us down.
01:15 Nobody can make us down.
01:16 Nobody can make a hold of us down.
01:18 Never can, never will.
01:20 So what am I not supposed to say?
01:22 What am I saying?
01:23 Are you offended with the message I'm bringing?
01:25 Call me whatever, 'cause your words don't mean a thing.
01:27 Yes, you ain't even a man enough to handle what I say.
01:30 If you look back at history, it's a common denominator
01:33 in our society.
01:35 The guy gets all the glory, the more he's worth.
01:37 While the girl can do the same, and yet you call her a whore.
01:40 I don't understand why.
01:41 It's OK.
01:42 The guy can get away, but it's not his name.
01:44 All the ladies come together and make a change.
01:47 It's not a new beginning for us, everybody say.
01:50 So my girls, I'm around the world.
01:51 Around the world.
01:52 I'm the next man that's gonna step your way.
01:54 I'm the one that's gonna see you through.
01:56 And we say, what do we do, girl?
01:58 Shout out.
01:59 I'm the one that's gonna do it for you.
02:00 Shout out.
02:01 I'm running.
02:02 We're the kind of girl that'll turn you different than a man.
02:06 Never can, never will.
02:07 So what am I not supposed to say?
02:09 Here's something I just can't understand.
02:11 If I have to be girls, then he's the man.
02:13 He could even give us a head of sex or whore.
02:16 If a girl do the same, then she's a whore.
02:18 But the table's about to turn.
02:20 I bet my fame on it.
02:21 Cats take my ideas and put their name on it.
02:23 It's like, though, you can't hold me down.
02:27 If you want my girls, let a man who be trying to mack,
02:30 do it right back to him and let that be that.
02:33 You need to let him know that his game is whack.
02:35 And little Kim and Christina act like they're a couple.
02:37 Girl, just a little more.
02:39 And you're so cute, so cool.
02:43 Must talk so big to make up for smaller things.
02:47 Oh, little more.
02:49 All you do is annoy, annoy me more.
02:52 And must talk so big to make up for smaller things.
02:56 This is for my girls.
02:57 I'm a girl, I'm a girl.
03:00 I'm a girl.
03:01 And I'm a girl.
03:02 I'm a girl.
03:04 And wonder where you are.
03:06 I'm a girl.
03:07 I'm a girl.
03:08 I'm a girl.
03:09 I'm a girl.
03:10 I'm a girl.
03:11 And I'll take a deep breath and say it now.
03:14 Never can, never will.
03:15 I'm a girl.
03:16 I'm a girl.
03:17 I'm a girl.
03:18 This is for my girls.
03:19 I'm a girl.
03:20 I'm a girl.
03:21 I'm a girl.
03:22 I'm a girl.
03:23 Baby, what do we do about it?
03:25 I'm a girl.
03:26 I'm a girl.
03:27 I'm a girl.
03:28 And I'll take a deep breath and say it now.
03:33 Never can, never will.
03:35 Can't hold it now.
03:37 Ladies.
03:37 Oh, oh.
03:39 Ha.
03:41 Now, here's what I don't get about society today.
03:45 A female can do the exact same thing as a man.
03:48 Yes, she is criticized for it and labeled for it.
03:52 But I'm gonna take it.
03:53 No, can't hold us down.
03:56 [applause]
