Kid Rock has a lot to say, and he manages to incorporate a lot of it into his new song “Don’t Tell Me How to Live”, which features members of the band Monster Truck.

The track offers a mix of rap rock styles with a gritty guitar backing, while also serving up a mix of bragging, checking out Kid Rock song names, and calling out his clichés about things troubling his worldview. Overall, the track is reminiscent of the sounds that first put rock on the map in the late 90s and early 2000s.

“What’s up with all the backlash / All your snowflakes / Here’s a news flashRock said at one point, then started ripping rhymes over participation trophies for kids, offended millennials, and fake news (there’s the CNN and NBC logos in the video if you’re wondering exactly. who he calls).

Rock’s Jon Harvey and Monster Truck exchange vocals, smoke cigars, and generally seem to be having fun with the song. The video takes a light turn later with Rock exploding out of this world, hanging from a giant middle finger statue propelling his journey elsewhere.

Take a closer look at the lyrics and watch the video below. “Don’t tell me how to live” is available on this location.

Kid Rock lyrics for “Don’t Tell Me How to Live”

FUCK ALL YOUR HOES
DETROIT TILL I MOUR MOTHERFUCKER
TALKING ABOUT ALL THIS CONNECTION
NO ONE TELL ME HOW TO LIVE

I’M A MOONSHINE SIPPER STRAIGHT SLIPPIN ‘IN THE DARKNESS
Far from being heartless, I am more like the strongest
TOOL IN THE HANGAR NO I HAVE EVER BEEN THE SMARTEST
BUT DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE, I HIT THE HARDEST

DEVIL WITHOUT CAUSE YOU HEARD ME THE SCREAM
AND TWENTY YEARS LATER, BITCH, I MEAN IT AGAIN
BUCKA BUCKA YOU HAVE NEVER MEET A CHILD LIKE THIS
FUCK MY ASS SO YOU CAN SUCK A COCK ON THE TEA
MY PATH OR THE HIGHWAY LISTENING
NOTHING HAS CHANGED HERE I STILL DON’T GIVE A FUCK
SO WHAT IS THE FUCK UP WITH ALL THE FEEDBACK
YOU SNOWFLAKES HERE IS A FLASH OF INFORMATION

NO ONE TELL ME HOW TO LIVE

YEARS AGO WE ALL THINK IT WAS A JACK SEE
THIS CHILD NEVER RECEIVED A MOTHERFUCKIN ‘TROPHY
BUT YO HOMIE HERE IS THE SITUATION
A NATION OF CATS IS OUR NEXT GENERATION
AND THESE MINIONS AND THEIR AGENDA
EVERY NOTICE HAS AN OFFENSED MILLENNIUM
BUT THIS AMENDMENT ONE SOUNDS TRUE
AND IF YOU ARE NOT IN DISISSANCE, SEE NUMBER TWO

NOTHING NEW RIGHT CHURCH WRONG PEW
GET A CLUE, A CREW, YOUR FALSE NEWS AND YOUR VIEWS
CAN ALL GET THE BOTTOM OF MY MOTHERFUCKIN ‘SHOE
I AM THE LAST OF A FEW CRIES AGAIN TO FUCK YOU

NO ONE TELL ME HOW TO LIVE
NO ONE TELL ME HOW TO LIVE
OH I’M GOING TO PLAN LIKE AN EAGLE
MY WINGS WILL CARRY ME AWAY
I HAVE THE HEART OF A LION
I STRENGTHENED EVERY DAY

YOU NEVER TELL ME SHIT
YOU WILL NEVER SPILL MY SCRIPT
BECAUSE I AM MORE HORRIBLE THAN THE VEGAS STRIP
YOU ARE LIKE MAYBERRY BITCH I AM HARD AND CRUNCHY
HIGH RISK HILLBILLY BUT I AM VERY RICH
YOU’RE LIKE MILLI VANILLI A LITTLE SILLY AND SHIT
I AM LIKE THE WILLIE GUN SHOTGUN SMOKING PHILLIES AND SHIT

I AM LIKE REVEREND RUN OR DAVID LEE ROTH
LIKE SPRINGSTEEN BITCH I AM THE FUCKIN BOSS MOTHER
JAMES DEAN SHIT I’M MORE LIKE BRAD PITT
A LITTLE LESS PRETTY BUT I WAS MORE DICK
I TWANG MORE RIFFS I SLIDE THROUGH THE GRASS
I RIP MORE LINES THAN 10 LB LOW
PICK UP THE MIC I AM LIKE SLOE GIN FIZZ

THIS ISN’T NO ONE THIS IS NO ONE
NO ONE TELL ME HOW TO LIVE
