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.
Trippin' Over A Rock
Kid Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The crowd rebounds as I flow slowin'
I'm not bullshittin'
Here's how I'm hittin'
Funkin' it up more than George Clinton
Swingin', and bringin' in a new format
A new breed indeed and I'm sure of that
'Cause I'm blessed and I jus won't settle for less
Yes the kid who gets the crowd up
The one with the hair that stands straight up
People look and stare in shock
Trippin' over a Rock
Trippin' over a Rock
Chased,and chased and chased but never close to caught
And the skills I filled were all self taught
With so many styles on each panfulls(?)
And they hit ya like a fifth a jack daniels
As the girls admire the way I aspire
To move piles of dough in my own empire
Not a liar, I tell no lies
So hey girl you can trust these blue eyes
But don't get me wrong I get wicked
Shake that ass in my face and ill stick it
Hit it get wit it
Knock it out the box
Trippin' over a rock
Trippin' over a rock
A genuine badman
Like Yosemite Sam man
I see-see-see-can rock the land
And bring a new swing and sensation
To represent the next generation
So slack up You better back up
Here comes the score and the weed in a jigsaw
Fuck with me
With no doubt
Ill put my foot in your ass and won't pull it out
Ill go deep in I won't weaken
Guaranteed to keep the house beepin'
Girls rockin' guys
Try to to cockblock(?)
