i love coming back to this song every once in a while. i got this album when i was probably around 8 or so and knew every song. i had an abusive father and i felt so alone, this song helped me through that. i’m 21 now, and my dad passed last year. the older i got the more i understood the song. i still feel every single word down to my core.
I love this song... Did you notice how you can't play it on Pandora &/or Amazon music? I use to have this CD... Like 20 years ago... I'll have to get a new one! ✌🏻
@@pauladaniels8224 yea a lot of good kid rock songs you won't find on any music streaming platforms because of his strong use of profanity unfortunately
It's a great song.... I was in my 30's when this came out. I met Bob quite a few times. I seen him when he was doing things with too short. Yes the lyrics of this song does hit home, and most definitely it took a lot out of him. I used to follow his tours around when he wasn't even heard of. This man has many talents and can play any instrument. R.I.P. Joe C
The dual perspectives provide an extra element of relatability and bring the song full circle so well. Kid Rock's Lyrics are often overlooked but the words in this song are strong... and you can feel them.
This album is so underrated. It helped me alot. His best songs are on here and explains Kid Rock so well. His passion. His progress. His growth. His love and his pain. This song makes me cry.
@@MikeVoss dude cmon...yeah those songs were poor choices I just meant this body of work was just purest form...before he ever made it to fame. U have to respect where skmdkne first starts off.
@@brothrmoe Dudes looking to start a keyboard scuffle, I can tell you’re being the bigger person… but man, what a loser. It can’t see the greatness through the fog of what it considers irredeemable garbage. History of Rock is a masterpiece for the K I D
Came back to this song after hearing about the passing of Kid Rock's Dad, Bill Ritchie. At the time this song was made, they weren't on the best of terms. With age, they grew very close and had an unbreakable friendship. RIP Bill Ritchie.
Yea the same people that said Metallica sold out by cutting their hair not playing the same metal music both didnt sell out its called adapting changing with the times
@@asifmetal666 5 years after the fact. But those two songs prove that Kid Rock has undeniable talent and song writing abilities. Maybe he got lazy after grabbing the bad. But he's been legit from day 1
This song describes my life in a nutshell. My kids were little when their mother and I divorced. And I tried my absolute best to be a good father to them even after the divorce, but due to my living arrangements, I was not able to be close to them. I missed a lot of years of them growing up and it wasn't by my own choice because I didn't have a choice. It was either I risk being homeless with no job, or try to plant my own feet in the dirt, and do something with my life so that I could be there for them. Now that they are older, they see the shit I went through and they now understand the situation. I am now a grandfather to a handsome little boy, and they live close to me so it's easier for me to see them now. The moral of this is, don't knock the father that tries his best because it's not an easy life being a single father. It's hard but the rewards in the end of it all are priceless
People give me a lot of shit for liking Kid Rock's music. I first heard this when I was around six or seven (?) bought the CD and was hooked from jump. Saw him live a few years ago (went by myself 🙄) and partied with some awesome people. Say what you want, but Kid Rock knows how to put on a show and his lyrics are real af that brings people together to have a great time. Glad I got pit tickets so I could take some kickass pictures! This song makes feel like a kid again.
I have this song on play back.....my SON DIED 1/1/2020.....10 DAYS AGO....................I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS SONG SINCE..........I LOVE ME SON........ YOUR BEAUTIFUL...MY SON.....I WILL PRAY FOR YOU FOREVER......AND EVER......GOD KNOWS........I LOVE YOU...🤟👑🙏😎🏋️♀️😙👑🙏🎙🎶🎵🎼🥁🎧🎤🎹📺
My father passed 3 or 4 urs ago, idk which but it doesnt matter cuz i dont even care. I never talk about him around my mother necause i was taught if you have nothing nice to say dont say anything. When he died i felt a sense of relief not sadness. Thank God i have a loving mom and had a great loving grandmother and grand father also an uncle who died way to youg. If it wasnt for them id be dead or in jail by now. They jave all past on but mom is still here. Most of my family is gone now, and at 53 my life is just falling into place. Its been a hard run but if it wasnt for the Good Lord and my Mother and some good people I've met alont the way, who lnows what I'd be doing today
Never being good enough for someone who was supposed to love you unconditionally isn't fair but we have to adapt and overcome. Now I'm older I have to understand parents are doing the best they know. Peace for families everywhere.
I remember growing up I was the only person around my area listening to kid rock and everyone used to talk a lot of shit about me listening to him but his old songs today still hit hard as they did back then
Ive been rockin kid since i was 7 or 8, my old man wasn't in the pic either. Coward's nerve can be a mf lol Now at 24 your on my speakers more than ever man, thank you so much for your music. For me, its always been there when i had nobody that would understand. #MAKEAMERICABADASSAGAIN
You are a human being on this earth. I am sorry what you went through. My father was very domineering also being a military officer. It is good that your father apologized to you. Some never do. Peace
I need somebody won't you help me I need somebody won't you tell me who I am I've been living a lie so long it seems I've lived a life time If you could see what I feel it would make your ghetto look like heaven And I believe it stems down from my family situation I never liked my old man I couldn't stand to be around him Sometimes I sit all alone just staring at his picture My heart turns to stone and I think of this I need somebody wont you help me I need somebody wont you tell me who I am You never loved me you never held me tight Instead you shook me like a beast to wake me up at night You tried to make me think that your ways were best When all I was was an outlet for all your stress Life it's the ultimate sin A game with no rules that you're expected to win My personal hell's hidden with a grin "Dad take the stand and let the trial begin" You said that oil and water don't mix though it seems cool Keep with your own and don't fuck up our gene pool You should've went to school like your bigger brother But you played the fool with a different color Runnin' ship with a whip I tried to keep up but I kept getting tripped Money made you so wise How could you look through my face and not see your own eyes Do as I say and not as I do But I can't 'cause when I look in the mirror I see you And oh the pain how it hurts It was always your home and your business that came first You said a man is as good as his word But your mind was closed and mine never heard My visions blurred, thoughts obscured And when my blind was down I strayed from the herd They say the nut don't fall far from the tree Look at you then look at me... You ain't nothing to me you've never been to me And all you ever gave a damn about was money see So now fuck you man you ain't shit to me And it's the day that I die of this hate that I'm free Now I know growing up son that it ain't always been easy And I know at times I was not always there for you We never spent much time just talking or having a good time But understand growing up son I never had a dime So I worked my ass off and I put myself through college And everything I have to this day you know I built it all Oh I wish I could go back and change the years that's lost between us I wish I could take back some of the things I said to you Son I said I'm sorry... Son I said I'm sorry but still you resent me so Son I said I'm sorry and why do you resent me so I always loved you I always cared for you Just never wanted you to go through what I've been through I tried to raise my fucking family just the best I know And now I'm hated like the devil and for what I don't know Dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I need somebody won't you help me I need somebody won't you tell me who I am I need somebody please please help me I need somebody you must tell me who I am (hey x3) Tell me who I am(hey x2) Tell me who I am(I am x2) Tell me who I am(am x2) TELL ME!!! tell me
I will never forget the day I looked up these lyrics and just saw my dad's picture... Well his mug shot. That was about as close as a picture I had of him at the time.
I hate this record dropped off of Spotify. I am glad it's still on RUclips. I used to crank this shit up in my car when it came up. Like Rock I had a strained relationship with my father, too
Really love the hypnotic guitar in this song . Wish this dude would make more music. When he was in his rock in roll faze. He fucking jammed hardcore .
You have to love the drunk....man...he's been through something that you cant understand...... you have to believe in jesus and him.... your father....its crazy.. . But you have to....forgive.......
I love you my old man anyways have but he was always a asshole to me never my brother. But the older I get i see he saw himself in me and didn't want me to go through what he did. This song really hits home love it
Sadly this song used to remind me of my dad and his dad, now it reminds me of me and my dad. I hope my son never listens to this in his future and thinks of me
All of the songs on here besides American bad ass is ether his old songs on his unsuccessful albums or unrealsed songs or rerecorded old versions of his songs on RUclips search up the polyfuze method or early morning stone pimp
Every time I hear this song I think about my piece of shit father who was never there for me or my little brother. It's ok tho karma is a real bitch he's now paying for the shit he did to us!!
Water and oil can have some good. I remember whenn me my daughter got a long once.and me my brother also .the are tourise and im not to get along with them and my chinees me and her still not to care its just up downs struggol not none or understand but i keep a heart open
I don't even need to see any comments, Mr. Rob Ritchie. One day I hope we meet. And I know it will be epic. Just keep doing what you do. I love you man.
This whole song is about his relationship with his father, it’s awesome to see some of the things Rock does with his kid. His Dad never liked the path he took because he thought Rock would never amount to anything. Well that was a huge f*cking mistake! 🤘🏻
The title is slightly misleading, but pretty clever. An oedipus complex is essentially when a child is.uhhh… how do I say this.. *attracted* to the parent of the other sex. Kid Rock twists this meaning to mean someone who hates their father. Kid Rock in a nutshell. Slightly wrong, but clever as shit.

Yea the same people that said Metallica sold out by cutting their hair not playing the same metal music both didnt sell out its called adapting changing with the times
Oh no ppl loves telling lies no way Kid would ever sell out. He's amazing he helps a lot of ppl he has a great! ❤️ 👍🇺🇸
I’ve never heard of those people and I feel fine 🤷♂️🤙
I agree ,he could sell a gospel album or any genre
And I say there dumb as hell
This song helped me years ago when I was in a dark place. I think this is one of the best songs Kid ever did.
My favorite Kid Rock song and imo his best and most honest work
This Song is incredibly Creative and played with such force but it's All to the Point!!!! Kid Rock is a Total Masterpiece!!!!! This album is the 💣💥
He always writes such soulful, honest .music. I will always respect him and his music. Gotta love Kid❤😊😊❤
This is one of the most emotional songs he ever did. Awesome!

One bad ass song but one bad ass man never gets old

Real talk! I am a father now as well. My dad was a f'ing deadbeat and I listen to this song and think about the father that I need to be for my kids!
Takes me back when this album was 🔥🔥
It's still 🔥 always will be!
WE ALL AROUND THE CAMP FIRE IN SEATTLE AREA BLASTIN THE ROCK
You are a human being on this earth. I am sorry what you went through. My father was very domineering also being a military officer. It is good that your father apologized to you. Some never do. Peace

I love this song
If it's real, you'll feel it...
Say somethin people KID ROCK rules
Very good 👍 👏
Kid rock is the king now and I ain't living here anymore now
King kid rock was a pimp daddy if you know what I mean by saying all that from me and I don't play gaylon Thomas in the house
kid rock is a bad ass rockers
"Dad, take the stand, and let the trial begin!"
i really resonate with the lyrics and the beat is dope
I need somebody won't you help me
I need somebody won't you tell me who I am
I've been living a lie so long it seems I've lived a life time
If you could see what I feel it would make your ghetto look like heaven
And I believe it stems down from my family situation
I never liked my old man
I couldn't stand to be around him
Sometimes I sit all alone just staring at his picture
My heart turns to stone and I think of this
I need somebody wont you help me
I need somebody wont you tell me who I am
You never loved me you never held me tight
Instead you shook me like a beast to wake me up at night
You tried to make me think that your ways were best
When all I was was an outlet for all your stress
Life it's the ultimate sin
A game with no rules that you're expected to win
My personal hell's hidden with a grin
"Dad take the stand and let the trial begin"
You said that oil and water don't mix though it seems cool
Keep with your own and don't fuck up our gene pool
You should've went to school like your bigger brother
But you played the fool with a different color
Runnin' ship with a whip
I tried to keep up but I kept getting tripped
Money made you so wise
How could you look through my face and not see your own eyes
Do as I say and not as I do
But I can't 'cause when I look in the mirror I see you
And oh the pain how it hurts
It was always your home and your business that came first
You said a man is as good as his word
But your mind was closed and mine never heard
My visions blurred, thoughts obscured
And when my blind was down I strayed from the herd
They say the nut don't fall far from the tree
Look at you then look at me...
You ain't nothing to me you've never been to me
And all you ever gave a damn about was money see
So now fuck you man you ain't shit to me
And it's the day that I die of this hate that I'm free
Now I know growing up son that it ain't always been easy
And I know at times I was not always there for you
We never spent much time just talking or having a good time
But understand growing up son I never had a dime
So I worked my ass off and I put myself through college
And everything I have to this day you know I built it all
Oh I wish I could go back and change the years that's lost between us
I wish I could take back some of the things I said to you
Son I said I'm sorry...
Son I said I'm sorry but still you resent me so
Son I said I'm sorry and why do you resent me so
I always loved you I always cared for you
Just never wanted you to go through what I've been through
I tried to raise my fucking family just the best I know
And now I'm hated like the devil and for what I don't know
Dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I need somebody won't you help me
I need somebody won't you tell me who I am
I need somebody please please help me
I need somebody you must tell me who I am (hey x3)
Tell me who I am(hey x2)
Tell me who I am(I am x2)
Tell me who I am(am x2)
TELL ME!!! tell me
ChunkeyMonkey40 nice one bruva
**instead you shook me like a FIST to wake me up at night
I will never forget the day I looked up these lyrics and just saw my dad's picture... Well his mug shot. That was about as close as a picture I had of him at the time.
This song has an awesome beat for rock& roll fans!
Amazing riff
sad but true...kinda like how me and my dad are right now...makes me cry sometimes..
Kid Rock is by far the best writer performer and realist Artist ever to walk this earth. Bamm ! He's got game yo! Awesome. Comical as well.
I am at this moment Dedicating this song to My jagoff brother Paul Welling! He's just like his dad who is violent when nothing goes his way 💯🍺🍺
I hate this record dropped off of Spotify. I am glad it's still on RUclips. I used to crank this shit up in my car when it came up. Like Rock I had a strained relationship with my father, too
For real man, kid rock sang about real shit.
Song of a lifetime. Fight me if you disagree
Lmfao
Caw
Im so mad this is my first time hearing this album..
its brill!
This is an Awesome Song
This one gives me goosebumps
Really love the hypnotic guitar in this song . Wish this dude would make more music. When he was in his rock in roll faze. He fucking jammed hardcore .
I2aa a kid.. now a man...I love my dad. He was never there for me.... but , I am the bigger man...... this is it.....
I wish you had a video to this one! ❤❤
I love you kidrock!
I know how he feels. I lived that life
Ha! Everyone on the house is asleep and I'm head banging. Cool
This always reminds me of my alcoholic abusive father who ruined our family but his death still and i cry thinking about him
He's aswamom..awesome..
Self Reflection Tells You what Kind of person you are.....
You have to love the drunk....man...he's been through something that you cant understand...... you have to believe in jesus and him.... your father....its crazy.. . But you have to....forgive.......
I love you my old man anyways have but he was always a asshole to me never my brother. But the older I get i see he saw himself in me and didn't want me to go through what he did. This song really hits home love it

He’s not an idiot
@@ddudley6926 Oh yeah, "Born 2 B a Hick" and "Fuck You Blind" are so genius
I feel you…💭
...I NEVER LIKED MY OLD MAN, AND COULD'NT STAND TO BE 'ROUND HIM...😠
Son I'm said I'm sorry still u resend me so!
I raise my fucking family the best i know, now i hated it a like a devil that why i dont know
My old man never liked me either
Neither did mine me, this is the most relatable shit ever.
I don't like you either. You pryed me from my biological "father". I've been trying to avoid men like you ever since. Constant harassment.
Yea me too i say.**** him though
dads sucks
Kid rock i know how it feels not to be like and some thing my self so cold but also say i know u love
🤘🤘🤘
TRILL SHAWTY BASS LOW 😉
This song always made me think about my relationship with my father. Not a good man in my eyes.
Sadly this song used to remind me of my dad and his dad, now it reminds me of me and my dad. I hope my son never listens to this in his future and thinks of me
Only place I can find this song
Ahh my dad
