[Intro: Kid Rock]

You knew that I was coming 'cause you heard my name

But you don't know my game, you never felt my pain

Can't read my brain but you read my lips

And got scared when you heard that I was coming with hits

Now don't even trip, be a man instead

Give thanks I'm alive when I should be dead

Uh! I'm in the red 'cause my mind's distortin'

People claimin' that they know me, but they only know a portion

I'm gonna move mountains and touch the sun

Don't get scared now, you knew this day would come

So hold your bids, all bets are closed

And fuck all you hoes


[Verse 1: Kid Rock]

'Cause it's been a long time comin'

But I finally broke like an egg yolk I ain't no joke

Like some uncut dope motherfucker, Kid Rock's to blame

Same game, same name, ain't a damn thing changed

No sell-out, I ain't no ho, fuck the radio I'm comin' from that R-O-M-E-O

Watch me throw like a fist of rage

Self-made and paid and sawed-off 12 gauges

Up that ass for the 9-8

Never fake, shake, straight from the Great Lakes

Seven years on wax comin' correct

Flat out you diss me punk, that's when I pull the strap out

And I get to buck-buck-bucking I'm fuck-fuck-fucking your hoes

'Cause they know who's runnin' this shit, Top Dog I'm the C-E-O

Role model, your mother-fucking H-E-R-O

My motto, "Be Cool - Keep Pimpin'."

Don't sleep, we roll deep in a Lincoln

Four Vogues on a hundred spokes

We bust Biltmore Beavers in Top Dog coats

We float like butterflies, sting like queen bees

Strapped with A-K's straight from the Chinese

What the fuck's goin' on in the D

Bunch of white boys pimpin' like the K-I-D

And it's all good I got love for my honkeys

We roll thick kick ass like donkeys

Anybody fuck's with you, I'm gonna mack 'em


[Chorus: Kid Rock]

Devil without a cause...I'm going platinum

I'm going Platinum (DEVIL)

I'm going Platinum (DEVIL)

We're going platinum (DEVIL)

Devil without a cause I'm going platinum


[Interlude]

Yeah, we come to party, so get down everybody

Yeah, we come to party


[Verse 2: Kid Rock]

I went from St. Clair Shores and drink specials at Winners

To New York City and $700 dinners

From hangin' with sinners and second hand cheap sex

To gettin' much respect from top record execs

The cool Kid's claimin' up to call you out

So shut up now or put my balls in your mouth

Bet that ass, hoss, I ain't forgot

When I was tossed in the dime bin and left to rot

Used to call me funny when my nose was fucking runny

Now I'm fuckin' bunnies, gettin' fuckin' Matchbox 20 money

Motherfuckers want to claim they're down

But when I was broke and down I never seen 'em around

All the shit we talked, all the shit we dreamed

I did it without you got a brand new team

No triple beams it seems like a movie

Bought two cribs, droptop, and jacuzzi

No more fluzzies only high class hoes

A couple when it rains and a few when it snows

A brand new nose to go along with my habit

And a garden hose made out of 24 karat

Bought a couple parots that like to squak

And they sound like you and all the shit you talk

Step inside my shoes, you couldn't fill em' doc

You're too old to kid, too soft to rock

Already did what most love to shout

7 years on wax and I still ain't sold out

And there ain't no doubt in my mind

That I'm gonna stomp all over you test of time


[Chorus: Kid Rock]

I'm going platinum

I'm going platinum

I'm going platinum

We're going platinum

Devil without a cause I'm going platinum

Devil

Devil

Devil

Devil


[Interlude: Kid Rock]

Straight out of the streets of Taylor

3 foot high, ready to get fly

Joe C


[Verse 3: Joe-C]

I'm the J-O-E to the C ho

Call me Joe C, got more game than Coleco

I'm a freak ho, call me sick

Three foot nine with a ten foot dick

The ladies pick, I'm a crazy hick

And rake through kind like a bum through wine

It's my time so I'm gonna shine like glass

Old as piss, but small as ass

Watch me cash smoke some hash

You're raking grass while I'm raking cash

High-ass voice just like Aaron Neville

And I'm down with The Devil


[Bridge: Joe C & Kid Rock]

Say we like to party, rock the party

We like to party, rock the party

We like to party, rock the party

We like to party, rock the party

You like to party, rock the party

We like to party, rock the party

You like to party, rock the party


[Outro: Kid Rock]

Devil without a cause, I'm going platinum

Come on!
