Why So Serious
Krizz Kaliko Ft. DJSNT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm around women it's like that
Now picture me, I think I'm winning
When I'm alone see it's right by
I'm seemingly rich, seem to be a glitch in my plans
I'm hoping the whole world is a stand, I'm holding a 4-4 in my hand
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
And if I had to tell her off this you'll stay
She knows you're really better off with the man
When the smoke clears
I'm spinning tires, ain't switching no gears
But a lot of time end up feel like like ain't did no years
So what am I crying bout?
To the title that I'm whining 'bout
When I come out my whip nigga spines out
You know that you're bout to find out
So turn the industry and turn the lights out then I climb out so
[Chorus]
Why? Why so serious?
I'm so furious. Why so...?
I keep asking myself
Why? I'm so curious
So serious... Why?
And I can't calm down down down
No, I can't calm down down down
Call me a sad man
Baby I ain't so bad (I ain't so bad)
Maybe it's just me
Why do I get so mad?
And I can't come down down down
No, I can't calm down down down
I'm getting closer to my last days
Cashing the cashiers, we're saving for rainy days
And if we're living in the last days
Need to be living it up without living the fast way
The older I get, the colder I spit, I'm the boaster and owner a bit
He see cheese, leaves the order a bit
Speak deep freeze, took a form to get
We're one hit away hah
Pay for play – that's the only way to make it if you ain't high
See me I get mad at the chatter splattered
On the baddest rapper that never mattered
This like it never happened
So worldwide buy my last album but might just forget it
There was a man did some cool things
So why so serious?
[Chorus]
Why? Why so serious?
I'm so furious. Why so...?
I keep asking myself
Why? I'm so curious
So serious... Why?
And I can't calm down down down
No, I can't calm down down down
Call me a sad man
Baby I ain't so bad (I ain't so bad)
Maybe it's just me
Why do I get so mad?
And I can't come down down down
No, I can't calm down down down
I can't calm down!
I can't calm down!
I can't calm down!
I can't calm down!
Down down down
Down down down
Krizz Kaliko's song Why So Serious explores the internal struggles of an individual who is seemingly successful on the outside, but feels unfulfilled and dissatisfied on the inside. The lyrics describe a person who is constantly trying to find happiness and peace by amassing material possessions, engaging in casual relationships, and seeking validation from others. However, despite these efforts, the emptiness and dissatisfaction that he feels never seem to go away.

The repetition of "I can't calm down down down" at the end of the song suggests that the singer is still struggling to find inner peace despite his outward accomplishments.
Overall, Why So Serious is a poignant commentary on the challenges of balancing success and happiness in the modern world.

And if society is close to collapsing
Need to be living it up without living the fast way
I need to enjoy life without being reckless

As I age, I become more confident in my abilities
He see cheese, leaves the order a bit
I'm successful and can make my own choices
Speak deep freeze, took a form to get
I had to go through challenges to reach my success
We're one hit away hah
I'm close to fame and fortune
Pay for play – that's the only way to make it if you ain't high
I have to pay to get noticed if I'm not already well-known
See me I get mad at the chatter splattered
I get upset about what people say about me
On the baddest rapper that never mattered
On someone who's not important
This like it never happened
I try to ignore negative comments
So worldwide buy my last album but might just forget it
People may buy my music but not really care about it
There was a man did some cool things
There was someone who achieved success
So why so serious?
So why am I so intense?
I can't calm down!
I can't calm down
Down down down
Down down down
