Forever
Kid Rock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Kid Rock]
Haha...
Ooh, I'm back (back), the fog is lifted
The earth has shifted, and raise the gifted
You knew I'd be back, so pack your bone

And hit the road Jack, cause daddy's home
Wit the funky hot wrists, thick like Al Rocker
Pumpin out hits, gettin chips like Opera
Bitch I told ya, do not hate
Or question the music I make, ugh

[Chorus: Kid Rock]
I make PUNK ROCK, and I mix it wit the HIP-HOP
I getcha higher than a TREE TOP
You want to roll wit the KID ROCK (yeeaah!)
I make SOUTHERN ROCK, and I mix it wit the HIP-HOP
Got money like FORT KNOX, I'll forever be the KID ROCK
FOREVER!

[Kid Rock]
The junky's are, still cigar smokin
Still the same cause I ain't change nuttin
Huffin, and puffin; I got two rookies
All in check doin the redneck boogie

The king is back, to retract the wack
Re-pack my sack, wit the double fat back
Forget all that, I'm still singin (yeeaah!)
And like kids on monkey bars I'm still swingin

Thought I got dusty, thought I'd get rusty
Thought I'd get rich and quit, oh he must be
Fat and ugly, broke black and blue
But I'm trim fit, rich and back for round two

Red, white and the Pabst Blue Ribbon
Dead right, that's how I'm livin
Givin you more, that the false and fakes
They can't make the kinda music I make, eh-huh

[Chorus]

[Kid Rock]
The black cat is back, in original form
The legible, credible, inevitable storm
Way past the norm', still misbehavin
Finger in the air and the flag still wavin

Don't come, don't test the boss
Cause I got this sewn like Betsy Ross
You can floss and front, you can taunt and tease
But you can't fuck wit rhymes like these

Thumpin like a drum kit wit wrists that slit picks
Bumpin for the kids who twist, splif and sips fifth
I got the gift I'm about to unravel
(Eight ball, side pocket) Eight ball in my jacket

Pussy and blow, you know how I live
"You can't say that Kid," fuck off, I just did
Watch me twirl, the earl, the pearl
Or just keep on Kid Rockin in the free world

[Chorus]

[Kid Rock]




PUNK ROCK - FOREVER! HIP-HOP - FOREVER!
TREE TOP - FOREVER! KID ROCK! (yeeaah!) [Repeat until fade]

Overall Meaning

Kid Rock's "Forever" speaks to the artist's place in the music industry; his raw, unfiltered, and highly eclectic style is here to stay. The lyrics are a representation of the Kid Rock ethos: to mix genres (in this case, punk rock and hip-hop as well as southern rock and hip-hop) that are not typically paired together. The chorus seems like a mantra; Kid Rock is convincing his audience and himself of his longevity in the industry.


The opening lines refer to Kid Rock's recent success and the haters who doubted him. "The fog has lifted, the earth has shifted" is a metaphor for people finally seeing Kid Rock's true talent, and "raise the gifted" is a reference to people finally celebrating him for his innovation and daring style. In the second verse, Kid Rock continues to set himself apart from others in the industry, referencing his own continued relevance and the staying power of his style. There are references to Kid Rock's "redneck" roots, emphasizing his authenticity and connection to his southern and working-class audience.


"Forever" seems to be an anthem to Kid Rock's fans, and anyone who feels like they have something to prove. The lyrics encourage people to be proud of their unique backgrounds and to create music or art that is true to themselves, no matter how unconventional. The song is a celebration of individuality and the rebel spirit that has always been a part of rock and roll.
