Do what you have to,

I did what

I had toTo break through a pick a style that sticks like glue

And as I rank

I wanna thank no one'

Coz I worked like a ***** to get the job done

You helped me around, my parents put me down

I never skipped town,

I stood my ground

We kept showin up ,drinkin' and throwin' up

Rap was my life as

I was growin' up

Actin' a fool in school, no one topped up

Smart ass in class at times abnoxious

Drivin' a

Bronco runnin' my own show

And pullin' the look a like

Marilyn Monroe hoes

And me and

Bo got together, made sense

Spent many nights in

Mt. Clemens basement

I scratched records and performed a few tricks

KDC mix, let the

Black man talk ****

Pumpin' the new sounds town to town

Who holds it down like

Bad Leroy

Brown?Now

I won't stop 'coz yo

I'm Kid Rock

I worked like a ***** to get the job done

F-Fames a costin' the price ain't nice

It's like the roll of the dice or a whole new life

But don't get my song wrong,

I enjoy it alot

Walkin' around like a big shot 'coz

I'm Kid Rock

Smooth as an ice cube cool as an igloo

And more complex, than a rubix cube

A healthy wealthy young one with a quick tongue

Smart from the start and from the heart my rhymes run

And as I incline through time to get mine

I try not to slide but walk a straight line

Though it's hard when the climb gets steep

The one who finds is the one who seeks

So I sought and fought and alot

I got taught

And although

I left those who stole got caught

Many shows

I rocked many suckers

I laughed at

And those who snapped back usually got slapped

The cat if

I was strap 'coz

I was a son of a gun

Livin life on the run

Now I pleaded 18 and outdone by none

Bold, young, handsome, bad like

BronsonPumpin' the new sounds town to town

And when in

Motown I cool out in

Greek town

On the upside with nothin' too high

Six Generations of rap and

I worked and worked and worked and

I workedWhen many thought

I was just gettin' jerked

Use the fuze but

And now know one out there could fill my shoes

And my pants and do this dance

This **** didn't happen by chance

It went slow not quick but now

I'm your pick

Ain't that a trip when

I started from zip

And now up and up and up

I won't stop growin' this flat top
