JayRoddy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Summer nights take an Uber up to bell and hand
I’m moving on I don’t know what I should tell her man
I’m doin’ good all the jealousy I’m smelling man
It’s probably cause I’m working me and Thomas cookin’ hella plans
I’m sliding through with the team like the avengers
So much snow you would think it’s December
I’m super cooked I don’t know what I sent her
I made a choice living life’s an adventure
It wasn’t me
Blame that on the RBV
I’ve been acting reck and I can’t help myself it’s hard to see
If I get distractions I should lock em out cause that’s the key
And fuck anybody out there that disagrees
We ain’t really mixing like the Catalina
That’s just how I do it
We ain’t really mixing like the Catalina
That’s just how I do it
I get the most lit on my darkest days
If you don’t have the drive then we’re parting ways
I spark a conversation and I’m sparking jays
I jot my dreams down when I start my days
I don’t know what I should tell her when she hits me up
I said I’m down because I brought a couple pick me ups
Yea, yo
I’ve been stressed I hit the blunt
Cause I know everybody’s quick to judge
I been over thinking, thinking over stuff
I ain’t saying names cough cough I need some robatuss
All this drip is getting cold as fuck
I’m fucked up I’m folded up
We ain’t really mixing like the Catalina
That’s just how I do it
We ain’t really mixing like the Catalina
That’s just how I do it
I’m sending blessings to you unless you’re my nemesis
I’m really grinding and told myself I could never miss
Nah, I can never miss
I put hit buckets on my bucket list
I don’t plan on stopping til I’m fuckin rich
Summer time was really just a bender
We had some nights that I hardly remembered
It’s November I’m cold like December
Whipped to the function
I roll with my senders
I can really tell you what I dream of
I been Swinging for the fences hitting clean up
I been working been a minute since I’ve seen yah
We ain’t really mixing like the Catalina
We ain’t really mixing like the Catalina
That’s just how I do it




We ain’t really mixing like the Catalina
That’s just how I do it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Catalina" by JayRoddy touch upon themes of moving on, personal growth, and the desire to succeed. The song begins with the singer reflecting on a summer night, taking an Uber up to Bell and Hand, indicating a change in scenery and perhaps leaving behind a past relationship. They acknowledge that they are doing well and that any jealousy they may be sensing from others is likely due to their own hard work and success in collaborating with Thomas on various plans.


The lyrics continue with a mention of sliding through with the team like the Avengers, suggesting a sense of camaraderie and unity. The line "so much snow you would think it’s December" could be interpreted metaphorically to imply that they are experiencing abundance or success, similar to a winter wonderland. The singer also expresses that they are feeling intoxicated, both metaphorically and possibly literally, and feeling uncertain about what they may have said to someone. This emphasizes the idea that living life is an adventure filled with choices.


The chorus repeats the phrase "we ain't really mixing like the Catalina" twice, suggesting that the singer's way of doing things is distinct and separate, just like the Catalina. This could be a reference to a specific party or social setting where they feel disconnected or different from others. It signifies their unique approach and individuality.


The second verse begins with the singer mentioning being stressed and finding solace in smoking marijuana because of the judgment they perceive from others. They hint at overthinking and possibly feeling the need to take cough syrup (robatuss) in order to calm their thoughts. This reveals a vulnerability and coping mechanism they employ.


The following lines touch on being intoxicated and emotionally closed off, indicating a sense of detachment or numbing. The chorus is repeated once again, reiterating their distinctive way of doing things separate from the crowd.


The final verse expresses the singer's dedication to their grind and the belief that they can never fail. They emphasize their drive for success by saying they will not stop until they are rich. They reflect on the past summer as a time of excess and moments they can hardly remember. The reference to November being cold like December suggests a chill in their surroundings, both literally and metaphorically.


The singer concludes the song by stating they are sending blessings, unless the person they are addressing is their enemy. They declare their commitment to hard work and note that they haven't seen someone in a while, implying that they have been focused on their goals. The song ends by repeating the chorus, emphasizing once again their uniqueness and separation from the rest.
