Step In Stride

I think you might like to hear something from usStand up, put your hands up, come on get up
Kid Rock's in the house, yo, ready to pick up
The tempo and you know so I will for somewhat unconventional
But comprehendible, I'm the presentable, the good lookin'
The Mello Yellow young fellow and I'm cookin'
Heatin' the house up just like a hot late
Smooth on the groove like an ice skateYou didn't think in a blink I'd stand here
But now you're in fear and you stand clear
You can't come near this hot stylin'
Groove by the kid who's smooth as a violin
Also the perfect lyric announcer on the set with a cold forty ouncer
Ready to glide from side to side, why, 'cause I step in strideThese are the criteria I believe should be applied
'Cause I step in stride
These are the criteria I believe should be appliedN-n-now yes, I'm new, but before I'm through
You're gonna see I paddle my own canoe
'Cause I'm solo, a young pro on the go
Close to an angel but I wear no halo
I just shake, create, and never act fake
And I've learned to dislike and not hate
Because hatred leads to an uproar
Violence is one thing I am not here forI'm just here flat, to blow the roof
Kick some watts and that's what I intend to do
Pump it up like an air comb presser, teach to each like a wise professor
No job I strive to reach high, make the girls in the house all sigh
And I'll glide from side to side, why? 'Cause I step in strideThese are the criteria I believe should be applied
'Cause I step in stride
These are the criteria I believe should be appliedApplied, step in stride, you bet I do
Get you high like a bottle of German Brew
Coming clean, new on the scene
Making girls scream if you know what I mean
'Cause they dream of me to rock the place
And put a big smile upon their face, any girl of any race
But they have to like the b-b-bass
And that's the rep I've earned and kept on the set, workin' up a sweat
No jive, Kid Rock, up arrived, huh, and I step in strideThese are the criteria I believe should be applied
'Cause I step in stride
These are the criteria I believe should be applied
These are the criteria
These are the criteria I believe should be applied
Applied, applied, applied
