Kid Rock released several studio albums from 1988 that mostly went unnoticed before his 1998 record 'Devil Without a Cause', released with Atlantic Records, sold 11 million albums behind the hits, "Bawitdaba","Cowboy," and "Only God Knows Why". In 2000, he released The History of Rock which was a compilation of remixed and remastered versions of songs from his previous albums as well as the hit single, "American Bad Ass". In 2001, he released the follow up, Cocky. After a slow start, his country-flavored hit "Picture" with Sheryl Crow resurrected the album and it went gold as a single and pushed the album's sales to more than 5 million. It was followed by 2003's self-titled release, which failed to chart a major hit. In 2006 he released Live Trucker , a live album. In 2007 Kid Rock released Rock N Roll Jesus, which produced a hit in "All Summer Long." It was his first worldwide smash hit, charting #1 in eight countries across Europe and Australia. Rock N Roll Jesus would go on to sell 5 million albums worldwide including being certified triple platinum in the US.
He has sold 22 million albums to date in the United States, which currently ranks him as the 99th best selling music artist of all time in the U.S.

Kid Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feelin' major torn, cause I wasn't born in a manger
And my anger has no outlet
So all day long I smoke that sess
I never rest, never sleep, I'm a freak
Too cheap to talk, and so I scream like yeah!
And everything that you stand for hates us
But everything your soul needs it awaits us
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't go around her say fuck that
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't go around him say fuck that
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't come around here say fuck that
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't come around me say fuck that
I sense danger, I'm a stranger
I'm feelin' major torn, cause I wasn't born in a manger
I feel funny, and I smell like sex
But in my heart I have no regrets
So let's roll, pay your toll, get soul
Let me know, uphold, smoke a bowl like
Cause everything that you stand for hates us
But everything your soul needs it awaits us
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't go around her say fuck that
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't go around him say fuck that
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't come around here say fuck that
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't come around me say fuck that
I see lights in my sights, but they look dim
I never backed out or cracked out, but I look thin
I wanna fight for the right, but I'm wrong
Say you love me, now I'm gone
I never rest, never sleep, I'm a freak
Too cheap to talk, and so I shut up like
And everything that you stand for hates us
But everything your soul needs it awaits us
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't go around her say fuck that
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't go around him say fuck that
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't come around here say fuck that
So let's ride, not slide, let's mack
And if they say you can't come around me say fuck that
Fuck that
Fuck that
Fuck that

In Kid Rock's song "Fuck That," the lyrics express a sense of danger and anger felt by the singer. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics with the line, "I sense danger, I'm a stranger." The singer feels out of place and misunderstood, stating that he was not "born in a manger," a reference to the biblical story of Jesus' birth. The singer also reveals that his anger has no outlet and that he copes by smoking marijuana all day long.
The chorus is a defiant call to action to ride and not slide, to stand up for oneself and not let anyone tell them they can't do something. The repetition of "let's mack" adds emphasis to this message of defiance. The verses repeat the theme of feeling like an outsider and not fitting in, but the singer still fights for his right to be himself. The line "And everything that you stand for hates us, but everything your soul needs it awaits us" could be interpreted as a rejection of societal norms and expectations in favor of individuality and self-discovery.
Overall, "Fuck That" is a statement of independence and defiance, rejecting conformity and standing up for oneself in the face of opposition.
