Devil Without a Cause
Kid Rock Lyrics

You knew that I was coming 'cause you heard my name
You were aware of my presence because my reputation preceded me

But you don't know my game and never felt my pain
However, you are unfamiliar with my strategies and have not experienced the struggles I have endured

Can't read my brain but you read my lips
You are unable to understand my thoughts, but you can decipher my words

And got scared when you heard that I was coming with hits
And became frightened upon learning that I was approaching with successful songs

Now don't even trip, be a man instead
Do not worry or fret, but rather, act with courage and maturity

Give thanks I'm alive when I should be dead
Express gratitude for my survival in situations where I could have easily perished

Uh, I'm in the red cause my mind's distortin'
I am in a state of financial debt because my thoughts are clouded and confused

People claimin' that they know me, but they only know a portion
Individuals assert that they are acquainted with me, but their understanding is limited to a fraction of who I truly am

I'ma move mountains and touch the sun
I will achieve great feats and reach unimaginable heights

Don't get scared now, you knew this day would come
Do not be frightened now, as you were aware that this moment would eventually arrive

So hold your bids, all bets are closed
Keep your assumptions to yourself, as all speculation has come to an end

And fuck all you hoes
And disregard all the promiscuous women who disrespect me

'Cause it's been a long time comin' but I finally broke
Because it has taken a significant amount of time, but I have finally achieved success

Like an egg yolk, I ain't no joke
Similar to the yolky center of an egg, I am genuine and serious

Like some uncut dope motherfucker, Kid Rock's to blame
Like pure, unadulterated drugs, I am responsible for the irresistible and addictive nature of my music

Same game, same name, ain't a damn thing changed
The rules and persona remain consistent, and nothing significant has altered

No sell-out, I ain't no ho, fuck the radio, comin' from the R-O-M-E-O
I have not compromised my integrity for commercial gain, I am not a cheap individual, and I reject mainstream media. I originate from Romeo, Michigan

Watch me throw like a fist of rage
Observe me express my anger forcefully, similar to a punch

Self-made and paid and sold off twelve gauges
I have achieved prosperity independently, and I have made money by selling shotguns

Up that ass for the nine-eight, nine-eight
Increasing the stakes as we enter the year 1998

Never fake, shake, straight from the Great Lakes
I am always authentic and genuine, originating from the Great Lakes region

Seven years on wax comin' correct
I have spent seven years in the music industry, consistently delivering high-quality content

Flat-out, you diss me punk, that's when I pull the strap out
Without hesitation, if you disrespect me, I will retaliate with a firearm

And I get to buck-buck-bucking, I'm fuck-fuck-fucking your hoes
I engage in sexual activities with multiple promiscuous women, completely disregarding your relationship with them

Cause they know who's runnin' this shit, Top-Dog I'm the CEO
They are aware that I am in charge here, I am the top authority, acting as the Chief Executive Officer

Role model, your mother-fucking H-E-R-O
I serve as a model to emulate, I am a hero to your own disgraceful self

My motto, "be cool, keep pimpin'"
My slogan is to remain calm and continue engaging in pimping activities

Don't sleep, we roll deep in a Lincoln
Do not relax or become unaware, as we are numerous and travel together in a Lincoln vehicle

Four Vogues on a hundred spokes
Equipped with four Vogues tires on a set of one hundred spokes

We bust Biltmore Beavers in Top Dog coats
We engage in sexual activities with wealthy women while wearing the prestigious Top Dog brand coats

We float like butterflies, sting like queen bees
We exhibit gracefulness similar to butterflies while possessing the ability to inflict harm like queen bees

Strapped with AKs straight from the Chinese
Armed with AK rifles directly imported from China

What the fuck's goin' on in the D
What is happening in Detroit?!

Bunch of white boys pimpin' like the K-I-D
A group of Caucasian males engaging in pimping activities, similar to myself, Kid Rock

And it's all good, I got love for my honkeys
However, everything is satisfactory, and I possess affection for my Caucasian friends

We roll thick, kick ass like donkeys
We move in large numbers and have the ability to defeat opponents with force, similar to donkeys

Anybody fucks with you and I'm gonna mack 'em
If anyone mistreats or harms you, I will confront and intimidate them

Devil without a cause, I'm going platinum
As a rebellious figure, I lack a moral compass, and my album will attain platinum status

I'm going platinum, I'm going platinum
I am achieving great commercial success, signified by reaching platinum sales

Yeah, we come to party, so get down everybody (come on)
Yes, we have arrived to celebrate and have a good time, so everyone should join in

I went from St. Claire shores and drink specials at Winners
I transitioned from the St. Claire shores area and discounted drinks at Winners establishment

To New York City and seven hundred-dollar dinners
To experiencing opulent dinners worth seven hundred dollars in New York City

From hangin' with sinners and secondhand cheap sex
From associating with immoral individuals and engaging in inexpensive sexual encounters

To gettin' much respect from top record execs
To receiving significant admiration from high-ranking record executives

The cool Kid's claimin' up to call you out
I, the cool Kid, assert that I am prepared to confront and challenge you

So shut up now or put my balls in your mouth
Therefore, remain silent or face the consequence of having my testicles forced into your oral cavity

Bet that ass, hoss, I ain't forgot
I guarantee that I have not forgotten and will deliver the promised action

When I was tossed in the dime bin and left to rot
A reference to a time when I was discarded and left to deteriorate in unfavorable conditions

Used to call me funny when my nose was fucking runny
Previously, you would mock me when my nose was congested

Now my fuckin' bunnies gettin' fuckin' Matchbox 20 money
Now, the women I am involved with are receiving significant financial compensation, comparable to the band, Matchbox 20

Motherfuckers want to claim they're down
Individuals attempt to assert their loyalty and support

But when I was broke and down I never seen 'em around
However, despite their claims, they were never present when I was destitute and in a low state

All the shit we talked, all the shit we dreamed
All the conversations and aspirations we shared

I did it without you, I got a brand new team
I accomplished my goals without your assistance and have now assembled a new group of individuals

No triple beams, it seems like a movie
Without the use of illegal activities to amass wealth, my journey appears like a cinematic production

Bought two cribs, drop-top, and jacuzzi
I purchased two luxurious residences, a convertible with a retractable roof, and a hot tub

No more floozies, only high-class hoes
I no longer associate with promiscuous women, but instead, engage with individuals of a higher social status

A couple when it rains and a few when it snows
I have a few companions during different seasons, with more present during rainy weather and fewer during snowy conditions

A brand new nose to go along with my habit
I acquired a new nose to accompany my addictive tendencies

And a garden hose made out of twenty-four karat
Furthermore, I possess a hose for watering plants made from pure, high-quality twenty-four karat gold

Bought a couple parots that like to squak
I purchased a few parrots that enjoy making loud, shrill noises

And they sound like you and all the shit you talk
Interestingly enough, they mimic your voice and the nonsense you spout

Step inside my shoes, you couldn't fill em' doc
If you were to experience my life, you would be incapable of handling the challenges, my friend

You're too old to kid, too soft to rock
You have reached an age where you can no longer engage in childish behavior, and you lack the resilience to thrive in the realm of rock music

I already did what most love to shout
I have already accomplished what many individuals only boast about

Seven years on wax and I still ain't sold out
Despite seven years in the music industry, I have not compromised my artistic integrity for commercial success

And there ain't no doubt in my mind
There is absolutely no uncertainty or hesitation within my thoughts

That I'm gonna stomp all over your test of time
I am confident in my ability to dominate and surpass any challenges or obstacles presented by the passage of time

I'm going platinum, I'm going platinum
I am achieving great commercial success, signified by reaching platinum sales

Oh, I'm going platinum, we're going platinum
Oh, I am achieving great commercial success, and as a collective, we are experiencing platinum-level popularity

Devil without a cause, I'm going platinum
As a rebellious figure, I lack a moral compass, and my album will attain platinum status

Devil, devil, devil, devil
Representing the devilish nature of my persona

Straight out of the streets of Taylor
Originating directly from the streets of Taylor, Michigan

Three-foot high, ready to get fly
Standing at a height of only three feet, prepared to impress and excel in various aspects

Joe C
Introducing the artist known as Joe C

The ladies' pick, I'm a crazy hick
I am chosen by ladies as their preferred companion, often perceived as a wild and unconventional rural individual

And rake through kind like a bum through wine
Navigating through various types of people effortlessly, comparable to a vagrant searching for wine

It's my time so I'm gonna shine like glass
Now is my moment to shine brightly, akin to the gleam of glass

Old as piss, but small as ass
Despite my advanced age, I am diminutive in size

Watch me cash, smoke some hash
Observe as I accumulate wealth and consume marijuana

You're raking grass while I'm raking cash
While you engage in insignificant activities, I am obtaining significant sums of money

High-ass voice, like Aaron Neville

And I'm down with The Devil
