Kid Rock - U Don't Know Me lyrics
[Kid Rock - U Don't Know Me lyrics]
Here, here we go, from Japan to Romeo
My flow is slow and it's, you know
My first time on radio
Now some say I'm foul, some say I'm wild
And that all might be true
But it did not happen overnight
So let me tell my tale to you
It started out when I was six
Just telling dirty jokes
My mother overheard and washed my
Mouth out with soap now as I grew
I always knew what it was for me to do
Never front, just be blunt
And always tell the truth never fake
I never act like something that I'm not
Remember me? I'm that foul-mouthed kid
That lived around your block
You thought that I was crazy like
A dog chasing it's tail
And by the time I turned of legal age
I'd probably be in jail in school
My teachers thought I was
Just a foul-mouthed freak
Now their yearly salary is what I
Make in just one week
So to the people who used to say
"You think you know it all"
Maybe I do and maybe I don't, but right now
I'm standing tall and you don't know me
It's funny how one kid can
Cause so much confusion
Parents should be happy I'm the
Dope their kids are using
Now some people think this business
Is all fame and glory
But there's a flip side to that truth
So let me kick my story
It took me oh so long to
Reach the point I'm at
Every time I take one step forward
They push me two steps back
I give an inch, they take a mile
Some try to cramp my style
They try to diss, they shoot, they miss
I walk off with a smile
But time will pass and I'll
Outlast anyone who doubts me
And the booty naked truth is you
Don't know shit about me
So when I'm in your town to nearest mic
Please kindly show me
So you can see what's really me and
Find out you don't know me
Because you don't know me
Now you might want to party, man
So here's your party jam
Hey, girly in that skirt
I want you just like Uncle Sam
Let's knock boots, let's knock boots
Right down to the nitty-gritty
With every drink and every blink
You seem to get more pretty
So out the bar, straight to my car
Now what's left to do?
She was saying, "I love you
" so I said, "yeah, i love you too"
(ha) next day I awoke, I almost choked
Who's bringing me inside?
My head was ringing
Heard people singing "Here Comes the Bride"
Thinking just what was I drinking as
I looked around to see
The girl I met last night was
At the altar waiting on me
Next thing I know
I'm face to face with holy matrimony
Looked at that bitch and I quit screaming
"You don't know me!" she didn't know me
Girls around this country think I'm nasty
Think I'm sexist
But they bought my first LP
You know - Grit's Sandwiches for Breakfast
Saying, "Ooh, you're this, " and "Oh, you're
That, " uh, uh, uh, hold up, cutie
What's your favorite song off that LP? "Ah
Wax That Booty" a lesson taught
I know you thought my dirty
Raps were kinda funny
But close-minded people thought I was
Only out to make money but check on back
Because it's a fact obscenity is no new thing
Remember Chuck Berry and when
He sang "My Ding-A-Ling"? But for me
I feel what I see and I say just what I feel
And in this world, everything
I see, you know, is all too real
Even though I don't look the same because
I cut off my flat top
I'll always say just what I feel
Because that's the real Kid Rock
And you don't know me
My flow is slow and it's, you know
My first time on radio
Now some say I'm foul, some say I'm wild
And that all might be true
But it did not happen overnight
So let me tell my tale to you
