Devil Without a Cause
Kid Rock & The Twisted Brown Trucker Band Lyrics

You knew that I was coming 'cause you heard my name
You were aware of my arrival because my reputation preceded me

But you don't know my game and never felt my pain
However, you are unaware of my tactics and have never experienced the struggles I've endured

Can't read my brain but you read my lips
You are unable to understand my thoughts, but you listen to my words

And got scared when you heard that I was coming with hits
And you became frightened when you heard about my successful songs

Now don't even trip, be a man instead
So, don't be afraid, show some courage and maturity

Give thanks I'm alive when I should be dead
Express gratitude for my survival against all odds

Uh, I'm in the red cause my mind's distortin'
I am stressed and overwhelmed because my thoughts are clouded

People claimin' that they know me, but they only know a portion
People pretend to know me, but they only have a limited understanding

I'ma move mountains and touch the sun
I will accomplish great feats and reach unimaginable heights

Don't get scared now, you knew this day would come
Don't be frightened now, you were aware that this day of success would arrive

So hold your bids, all bets are closed
So, stop making predictions and stop gambling, the outcome is certain

And fuck all you hoes
And disregard all the deceitful individuals

'Cause it's been a long time comin' but I finally broke
Because it took me a long time, but I finally achieved success

Like an egg yolk, I ain't no joke
Like a cracked egg yolk, my success is real, not a joke

Like some uncut dope motherfucker, Kid Rock's to blame
Like pure, powerful drugs, Kid Rock is responsible for the addictive nature of his music

Same game, same name, ain't a damn thing changed
The same style and identity, nothing has altered

No sell-out, I ain't no ho, fuck the radio, comin' from the R-O-M-E-O
I have not compromised my integrity, I am not a sellout, ignore the mainstream radio, I come from Romeo, Michigan

Watch me throw like a fist of rage
Observe my aggressive and powerful delivery

Self-made and paid and sold off twelve gauges
I have created my own success and wealth, and I have sold shotguns for profit

Up that ass for the nine-eight, nine-eight
Intensify and dominate in the year 1998

Never fake, shake, straight from the Great Lakes
Never pretending, representing authentically from the Great Lakes region

Seven years on wax comin' correct
Seven years of releasing music and doing it right

Flat-out, you diss me punk, that's when I pull the strap out
Plain and simple, if you disrespect me, that's when I show my weapon

And I get to buck-buck-bucking, I'm fuck-fuck-fucking your hoes
And I get to shooting, I am having sexual relations with your women

Cause they know who's runnin' this shit, Top-Dog I'm the CEO
Because they know I am in charge, I am the top dog, the CEO

Role model, your mother-fucking H-E-R-O
I am a positive influence, your mother-fucking hero

My motto, "be cool, keep pimpin'"
My motto is to stay calm and continue to excel

Don't sleep, we roll deep in a Lincoln
Stay alert, we travel in a large group in a Lincoln vehicle

Four Vogues on a hundred spokes
Four Vogue tires on one hundred spoke wheels

We bust Biltmore Beavers in Top Dog coats
We engage in sexual activity with beautiful women while wearing expensive fur coats

We float like butterflies, sting like queen bees
We are graceful and agile, but also capable of causing harm

Strapped with AKs straight from the Chinese
Armed with AK-47 rifles directly imported from China

What the fuck's goin' on in the D
What is happening in Detroit?

Bunch of white boys pimpin' like the K-I-D
A group of Caucasian males engaging in pimp behavior, just like Kid Rock

And it's all good, I got love for my honkeys
And it's all fine, I have love and respect for my white friends

We roll thick, kick ass like donkeys
We travel in a large group, and we dominate and excel

Anybody fucks with you and I'm gonna mack 'em
If anyone messes with you, I will handle them confidently

Devil without a cause, I'm going platinum
As a rebellious figure without constraints, I am achieving great success

Yeah, we come to party, so get down everybody (come on)
Yes, we are here to celebrate and have a good time, so everyone should join in

I went from St. Claire shores and drink specials at Winners
I went from living in St. Claire Shores, Michigan and enjoying discounted drinks at a bar called Winners

To New York City and seven hundred-dollar dinners
To now dining at expensive restaurants in New York City costing seven hundred dollars

From hangin' with sinners and secondhand cheap sex
Previously associating with immoral individuals and engaging in low-cost sexual encounters

To gettin' much respect from top record execs
To now receiving high regard and admiration from prominent music industry executives

The cool Kid's claimin' up to call you out
The confident Kid Rock is ready to confront and challenge you

So shut up now or put my balls in your mouth
So, be silent and stop opposing me, or face the consequences

Bet that ass, hoss, I ain't forgot
I assure you, I haven't forgotten about you

When I was tossed in the dime bin and left to rot
When I was rejected and abandoned, left to suffer

Used to call me funny when my nose was fucking runny
You used to mock me when I was vulnerable and weak

Now my fuckin' bunnies gettin' fuckin' Matchbox 20 money
Now, my partners in intimate relationships are earning a significant amount of money, just like the band Matchbox 20

Motherfuckers want to claim they're down
People want to pretend that they are supportive and loyal

But when I was broke and down I never seen 'em around
But when I was destitute and struggling, I never saw them around

All the shit we talked, all the shit we dreamed
All the conversations we had and the aspirations we shared

I did it without you, I got a brand new team
I achieved success without your assistance, I now have a new group of supporters

No triple beams, it seems like a movie
No more illegal activities, it feels like a surreal film

Bought two cribs, drop-top, and jacuzzi
Purchased two luxurious houses, a convertible car, and a hot tub

No more floozies, only high-class hoes
No more promiscuous women, now only sophisticated and elite companions

A couple when it rains and a few when it snows
A few romantic partners during rainy days, and even fewer during snowy days

A brand new nose to go along with my habit
A surgically enhanced nose to accompany my indulgences

And a garden hose made out of twenty-four karat
And a watering hose crafted from pure twenty-four karat gold

Bought a couple parots that like to squak
Purchased a few parrots that enjoy making loud, repetitive sounds

And they sound like you and all the shit you talk
And they mimic your voice and all the nonsense you spew

Step inside my shoes, you couldn't fill em' doc
Try to understand my perspective, but you wouldn't be able to handle it

You're too old to kid, too soft to rock
You are too mature to mock, too weak to withstand a confrontation

I already did what most love to shout
I have already achieved what most people only dream about

Seven years on wax and I still ain't sold out
Seven years of releasing music, and I have not compromised my artistic integrity

And there ain't no doubt in my mind
And I have no doubts

That I'm gonna stomp all over your test of time
That I will dominate and surpass your expectations

Devil without a cause, I'm going platinum
As a rebellious figure without constraints, I am achieving great success

I'm going platinum, I'm going platinum
I am achieving platinum-level record sales

Devil without a cause, I'm going platinum
As a rebellious figure without constraints, I am achieving great success

Yeah, we come to party, so get down everybody (come on)
Yes, we are here to celebrate and have a good time, so everyone should join in

Yeah, we come to party
Yes, we are here to party

I'm the J-O-E to the C, ho
I am Joe C, spelled J-O-E C, addressing an individual

Call me Joe C, got more game than Coleco
Refer to me as Joe C, I possess more skills and charisma than the game console called Coleco

I'm a freak, ho, call me sick
I am an eccentric individual, address me as sick

Three-foot-nine with a ten-foot dick
Despite being physically short, I possess an impressive level of prowess and confidence

The ladies' pick, I'm a crazy hick
I am the preferred choice of women, and I am a wild and unconventional country person

And rake through kind like a bum through wine
And I attract and capture women easily, like a homeless person searching through discarded wine

It's my time so I'm gonna shine like glass
It is my moment to succeed and excel brightly, like glass

Old as piss, but small as ass
Despite being older, I am still insignificant

Watch me cash, smoke some hash
Observe me making money and smoking marijuana

You're raking grass while I'm raking cash
You are performing menial tasks while I am earning a significant amount of money

High-ass voice, like Aaron Neville
I have a high-pitched voice, similar to Aaron Neville

And I'm down with The Devil
And I am aligned with The Devil, in a metaphorical sense

Say we like to party, rock the party
We claim to enjoy parties and energize them

(We like to party, rock the party)
(We like to party, energize the party)

We like to party, rock the party
We enjoy partying and creating an exciting atmosphere

(We like to party, rock the party)
(We like to party, energize the party)

You like to party, rock the party
You enjoy partying and creating an exciting atmosphere

(We like to party, rock the party)
(We like to party, energize the party)

You like to party, rock the party
You enjoy partying and creating an exciting atmosphere

Devil without a cause, I'm going platinum
As a rebellious figure without constraints, I am achieving great success
