Reckless
05. Krizz Kaliko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say I need to slow down
Like I drink too much, I party too much
But I'm reckless baby
I was born that way, I'mma stay that way

Niggas couldn't see me if my vitiligo was neon
Nose in the air, staring at the planet that He on
Scapped you off my balls with my paws, y'all be gone
Effortlessly F em, left em jeffing, my nuts they be on
Get out my face is what they telling me
But I'm the shit, you smelling me
And I refuse to rep any letter, this ain't no spelling B
So what I'm saying, ain't no question who the man is
Kali take his chances with you jarets
I'mma keep on talking reckless, brothers left em respective efforts to dap em in
Used to be in love with the pen, don't know what's happening
Well they matching the abstract rapping, to hide that's happening
Everly telling me money's funny
Why I ain't laughing then?

It's like I got the will but I neglect it
Drunk as hell and don't know where I'm headed
Sideways down a one way dead end
Telling you to get in
It's like I'm talking breezy to an OG
Slapped a couple pimps just like they owe me
Part of you like nigga you don't know me
I can be that nigga you want me to be

[Chorus]
I be talking reckless reckless reckless reckless reckless
I be talking that reckless reckless reckless
Well shut up!
When you leave I'll be talking that shit

But I'm a master when I match words
In a nutshell I bust well
After burner, taking off
I'm on a launch pad, no duck tells
What smells? I'm on fire
Throw a little wood up on the bonfire
Tell yo mutts I'm on a Helen Hunt
And now I'm mad about you, Paul Rise
Killer on the mic, born naturally
Baseball bat with the barb wire
Mick de Folly, I'm sick homie
If you paid for the verse you an art buyer
Hard to march, hide yo marks
Howard Stern, private parts
How on earth first thing that I prove is 13, is that off the chart?
Maybe I shouldn't be given to the crazy eye
If I was smart but I'm U-B-I and I'm reckless
Set tripping and writing for Ces bitch
Knock 'em out cold, south pole
Matter don't money, I'm about dough
Fuck a hard rock, I'm a star fox
No Falco, outro

It's like I got the will but I neglect it
Drunk as hell and don't know where I'm headed
Sideways down a one way dead end
Telling you to get in
It's like I'm talking breezy to an OG
Slapped a couple pimps just like they owe me
Part of you like nigga you don't know me
I can be that nigga you want me to be

[Chorus]
I be talking reckless reckless reckless reckless reckless
I be talking that reckless reckless reckless
Well shut up!
When you leave I'll be talking that shit

I'm ahead of the curve cousin
Killing 'em, keeping it strange, I'm coming to burn something
Ain't nobody on the radio
Fucking with us so you niggas ain't heard nothing
Kid I been up in that loud
With a pen and a pad, a couple of bad bitches
Blowing me off of the map and a matter of fact – I ain't never had bitches
Killer City sinner silly in there
Pop a molly, put a drink in the air
I could be riding her aqua now and with a rocking I'm umfing a lock of my hair
Fuck if I care, fuck if I'm rare
I could be cutting the muck of the mayor
Wavy in the midi really we coming
Shake it up and I'm dumping the flare
Fan out, find him, find him, I need a necklace
A needle plus a package, a crash can complete the checklist
What I need is RNR when I'm buzzing as big as Texas
In the whip with no break, hitting the gas
Nigga, I'm reckless

It's like I got the will but I neglect it
Drunk as hell and don't know where I'm headed
Sideways – that a one way dead end
Telling you to get in
It's like I'm talking breezy to an OG
Slapped a couple pimps just like they owe me
Part of you like nigga you don't know me
I can be that nigga you want me to be

[Chorus]
I be talking reckless reckless reckless reckless reckless
I be talking that reckless reckless reckless
Well shut up!
When you leave I'll be talking that shit





Nigga, do you know who I am?
Nigga, do you know who I am?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Krizz Kaliko's song "Reckless" explore the idea that some people are just born to be reckless and they can't help it, even if it may have negative consequences. The song also touches on the idea of people judging him for his reckless behavior, but he refuses to change who he is. Kaliko compares himself to someone with vitiligo that shines bright like a neon light, meaning that no matter how hard people try to ignore him, they can't. He also raps about being a master with words and being able to hit hard. However, he questions himself about his motivation for rapping and if he's truly happy doing it.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I be talking reckless" and acknowledges that his behavior may not be acceptable to everyone, but he continues to do it anyway. The last line of the song, "Nigga, do you know who I am?" is a proclamation of his self-worth and confidence in himself.
