Kid Rock has returned to his rock roots with his new single, "Don't Tell Me How To Live," while still infusing some of that country swagger his fans have come to know from him in recent years. Rock has been making headlines in recent years for everything but his music – showing up to presidential debates, fighting with the city of Nashville over COVID restrictions and being criticized for homophobic stage banter. Rock's new song responds to all of that – don't tell him how to live!
Rock talks about how Millenials are too sensitive. Just want to point out the youngest Millenials at this point are turning 30. I think he means Gen Z! Here are the lyrics:
Fuck all you hoes
Detroit till I die motherfucker
Talking all that bullshit
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
I'm a moonshine sipper straight slipping into darkness
Far from harmless, I'm more like the sharpest
Tool in the shed, no I never been the smartest
Well, make no mistake, I hit the fucking hardest
Devil without a cause, you heard me screaming
And twenty years later, bitch I still fucking mean it
Motherfucker you ain't never met a motherfucker like this
Kiss my ass and you can suck a dick, sideways
My way or the highway, listen up
Ain't nothing changed here, I still don't give a fuck
So what the fuck's up with all the backlash
You snowflakes, here's a newsflash
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
Years ago, we all thought it was a joke, see?
That every kid got a motherfucking trophy
But yo homie, here's a situation
A nation of pussies is our next generation
And these minions and their agendas
Every opinion has a millennial offended
But this amendment one, it rings true
And if it don't descend bitch, then see number two
Ain't nothing new, right church, wrong pew
Get a clue or prove your fake news and views
Can all kick the bottom of my motherfucking shoe
I'm the last of a few still screaming fuck you
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
Oh, gonna soar like an eagle
My wings will carry me away
I've got the heart of a lion
And I get stronger every day
You never tell me shit, you never flip my script
Because I'm more outrageous than the Vegas strip
You're like Mayberry bitch, I'm hard and crisp
High risk hillbilly but I'm filthy rich
You're like Milli Vanilli, kinda silly and shit
I'm like Shotgun Willy smoking fillies and shit
I'm like Reverend Ron or David Lee Roth
Like Springsteen bitch, I'm the motherfucking boss
James Dean, shit, I'm more like Brad Pitt
A little less pretty but I sling more dick
I twang more riffs, I slide through grass
I rip more lines than a ten pound bass
Pass the mic, I'm like sloe gin fizz
And ain't nobody, and ain't nobody
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
