"Bawitdaba" is a song by Kid Rock and Twisted Brown Trucker, released by Kid Rock on his album Devil Without a Cause.

The song led the way to be nominated for two Grammy Awards in 2000. One for Best New Artist and one for Best Hard Rock Performance. The song peaked at No. 10 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks, No. 11 on the Modern Rock Charts, and No. 104 on the Hot 100 on July 13, 1999. In 2009 it was named the 47th best hard rock song of all time by VH1..

The song's chorus sampled Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight", although they are never credited, and the title for the song comes from Lovebug Starski's song "Live at the Fever." Kenny Tudrick did the guitar work on Kid Rock's song and was going to sue for his royalties before Kid Rock asked him to join the band after Kenny Olson quit in 2005. A censored version of the song was also made, which replaces the word "bastards" in "all you bastards at the I.R.S." with record scratching.

The song was played over the climax of the pilot episode of the FX television series The Shield. It was also featured in the 2000 movie Ready To Rumble as a remixed version called the "The Lower Than You" remix. A live version of the song was included on the Woodstock 99 compilation album .

Pro Wrestler Kid Kash used the song has in intro when he was in ECW. It is the Detroit Pistons introductions song as well.
