This song is a little bit of country, rock, and metal, but it's also a whole lot of torture. I think this song is as haram as it gets because "instead of giving praise to Allah and learning about Islam, (the) musicians engage in useless and sometimes harmful activities." (Otterbeck, 14) Here are some lyrics from the song that I think capture this point:
Devil Without A Cause
And I'm back with the beaver hats
And Ben Davis slacks
Thirty pack of Strohs
Thirty pack of hoes
No rogaine and the propane flows
The chosen one
I'm the living proof
With the gift of gab
From the city of truth
I jabbed and stabbed
And knocked critics back
And I did not stutter when I said that
I'm going platinum
Sellin rhymes
I went platinum
Seven times
And still they ill
They wanna see us fry
I guess because Only God Knows Why
Why why why why
So, Kid Rock talks about the American "badass" as being someone who is a "devil without a cause." The "badass" is someone who "shows no shame" and would "live and die for this." His message in the song seems to be something like this: He is proud of being a cowboy and an American "badass" because he's the "shit shit shit shit."
