Killin
Kid Rock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kid rock that's right you know I'm back ho
From the dead where I had to lay low
Seems strange but I ain't changed nothing
Pot smokin' beer drinkin' motherfucker that's me

In the flesh and I guess I'm the best
In the motherfuckin midwest 'cause there's no contest
For the pimp, I'm the pimp of the nation
So fuck college and a good education

All we need to learn is how to hold hands
Then we could live in peace in my homeland
God damn the way my pain swells
I spend all my time killin' brain cells

The light shed on me was a dim gleam
So I live life in a bottle of Jim Beam
Droppin' dots or sniffin' that blow black,
I go to sleep at night watchin' Kojak

Fuck hoes 'cause I'm no big fag
Roll with Zig Zags like to read skin mags
When I shoot I never miss
And if I played the bass I'd probably pluck it like this...

People want to know what I'm thinkin' but I don't care
So I keep my thoughts in a bottle of Cuervo
Just a wild young buck
Got banned from the shelter but I really don't give a fuck

'cause I still be clownin' suckers be frownin'
Forties of Busch I be poundin'
I ain't dead in the head like Manson
I'm more laid back than motherfuckin' Ted Danson

Hanson brother style when I'm rumblin'
Couple of shots of Don Q and I be stumblin'
Fumblin' footballs hangin' in the pool halls
Out late night with my crew stealin' you-hauls

I'm not into havin' clean fun
I step into the party strapped with a machine gun
But I'm no gangster like Gotti
"I'm just an M.C. to put the boogie in the party"

Back in black plus a new track
And I won't quit till your ears blow from feedback
When I shoot I never miss
And if I played the guitar I'd probably strum it like this...

So give it up bitch 'cause I'm the kid rock
And today I know you don't want to get shot
You look gay you're too cliche
So fuck all y'all hoes and yo Chuck pass the jay

Sellin' me out like bitches to make a quick buck
But motherfuckers like y'all just have no luck
Your little plan was a flop
Tryin' to get em on by sellin' out the Kid Rock

A part of me was with you but yo he died,
And I'm glad you stepped off 'cause I ain't givin' no free rides
You little bald headed peon
And fuck it motherfucker if you want it lets get the beef on

'cause I'm sure I'm sure ya
Are gonna try to come back around but I'll ignore ya
It only takes one shot to floor ya
'cause I'm Kid Rock bitch and I'm real mutha for ya

Better jet so 'cause I won't let no hoes from the metro
Take mine "what up doe"
Come look son I'm number one...
"'cause I worked like a bitch to get the job done"

In the twilight zone with Rod Serling
I ain't goin' bald so fuck Sy Sperling




When I shoot I never miss
And if I played the harmonica I'd probably blow it like this...

Yep

There was a time where Kid Rock was a talented and hungry rapper looking for respect and success. Mainly, he was looking to expand his audience outside of Michigan as in 1992-93, he was still mainly known only in Michigan and parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.

The talent was there, as this album and the next release (Early Morning Stoned Pimp) showed. Once KR started getting fans around the country is when the major labels took notice.

Kid Rock was doing basically what MC Hammer did back in the mid 1980’s in Oakland. Start your own record label and sell your albums directly to your fans. Hammer had Bust It! Records and KR had Top Dog Records.

Rock’s hustling and bustling for all of those years finally worked when he got signed to Atlantic Records.

Rock’s current politics just reflect his upbringing that he had as a kid. He was raised in the sticks in Macomb County. About 50 miles away from Detroit. Trailers, Guns, etc. rednecks out that way.
