Kid Rock is making an exclamation to get the crowd engaged and excited.

And I be catchin' them northern pike Like on a ten pound test Success, never fess, take a guess I be the early mornin' stoned pimp, Straight limpin, Boone's Farm drinkin, At the party big booty pinchin'
Kid Rock is boasting about his fishing skills and party habits in a humorous manner, as the Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp character.

Chillin, like a villain, balloon fillin Whack MC killin, the fine ho drillin With the million dollar talent And the ten cent brain, Been gone too long, too much cocaine, But now that I'm back, on the block I'm ready to rock Left to right, all night My game's tight, I wish you might Take a bite Out of this here toxic, melodic, neurotic product Fresh from the harvest
Kid Rock is describing his persona as a villain-like character who likes to party and engage in sexual activities, but acknowledges that he's been away for a while due to drug use.

Who'll be the largest, hardest smartest label in town Top Dog get down Radio won't play me, but still I got the kids around The world goin' Kid Rock crazy
Kid Rock is challenging record labels to sign him and prove themselves as the largest, hardest, and smartest label in town. He acknowledges that the radio won't play his music, but he's okay with it because the fans still love him and want to hear his music, resulting in a global phenomenon where the world is going 'Kid Rock crazy.'

Wicked witches be flyin' on broomsticks, Kid Rock be comin' with the boom boom boom biatch I from the sticks biatch Straight from the RO "Kid Rock I ain'ts no bitch" Ah, yes you are ho So quit frontin' like ya don't know, When I step straight into the party with my homeboy Tino "What's up?" So get a good look bro Get a good gander I'm made in Detroit But my name ain't Stanzler
Kid Rock is comparing himself to wicked witches, both being powerful and unstoppable in their own way. He also asserts his origin and identity as being from rural areas and the 'RO' (Rochester), but quickly shuts down anyone who tries to disrespect him by calling him a 'bitch' or act like they don't know him. When he enters a party with his friend Tino, he's confident and knows that he stands out, hoping others will acknowledge his unique talents beyond just his appearance.

Spreadin' like a cancer, a virus While you're lookin' really gay like fuckin' Billy Ray Cyrus I'm the highest MC of all time Got my mind on the D And the D on my mind And the line gets drawn when my eyes can't see Hit me twice with the Tussin and the morphine IV
Kid Rock is describing his music as being contagious and spreading rapidly like a cancer or virus, contrasting it to the 'gay' appearance of Billy Ray Cyrus (who was popular at the time) and asserting himself as the best MC ever.

He's encouraging the crowd to throw their hands up in the air and enjoy the party, emphasizing the connection between his music and the city of Detroit, where the party never stops. He also challenges the idea of hip hop as a genre by incorporating rock and other genres into his music.

Now I'm the self made mack on a mountain on Mars Got the money green cut it with the high roll clause A Lincoln Continental and a Gran Marquis Rag top, drop down, rollin' on chrome D's bitch The purple furs and the gold trim glasses I only bust the fat asses And I don't be givin a fuck who da hell can rap better than me 'Cause I'm a true fuckin' player and I mack like a real G

He has acquired lavish cars and wears stylish fur and gold trim glasses.
