Black Bob
Kid Rock Lyrics

They used to call me names
People used to make fun of me and call me derogatory names.

Said I was just a wanna be
People claimed that I had no talent, and was just trying to be someone or something that I was not.

But now they all pay to see
Now, those same people who made fun of me and doubted me, pay to come see me perform or listen to my music.

What they were gettin for free
These people used to be able to enjoy entertainment for free but now have to pay to see me perform.

How about them days and now
Reflecting on the past and comparing it to the present.

You don't know what to say
Speechless or not sure what to say.

Ain't it funny how the sun can shine
It's ironic how things can change in a positive way.

And hide away
Despite a good turn of events, some things may still be hidden or unknown.

And its a long way on a they say highway
The journey to success can be long and challenging.

I'm still runnin
Despite the obstacles, I am still pushing forward towards my goals.

A lonesome freeway of uncut my way
I am taking my own unique path to success and it can be a lonely one.

Can you feel me comin
Do you sense my presence and strength?

I'm tombstone ugly and if you judge me
I don't have the most appealing appearance and if you judge me based on that, be wary.

Bettah wathc for me comin
You better watch out for me because I am coming for success.

In a 59 drop top blood red cadillac
I will not only be successful but will also be flashy in a red Cadillac convertible.

Knock knockin
I'm at your door and demanding your attention.

Black bob at your door
The persona of Black Bob is at your door, representing Kid Rock.

Still rockin
I'm still creating, performing, and thriving.

Everybody say that
Everyone is talking about the success and presence of Kid Rock.

Lookin for the payback
I am seeking retribution against those who doubted me or did me wrong.

He got no sense

But now they say oh bobby man

He was my best friend

Ain't it funny how the glory and the stories
It's ironic how one's experiences can change the course of their life.

And the times can change
Situations and experiences are not permanent, and can alter drastically.

And no sense ritchie just
Kid Rock's former persona of Ritchie Boy never made sense to some people.
