For some it takes time, for others, it’s just natural. Jazz Cartier is a native of Toronto, but has been influenced by his travels all over the world. From growing up in Toronto, to being introduced to music in Barbados, and starting his career as an artist in Atlanta, it took a lot to get Cartier where he is now. Amongst it all, he kept to his roots, and always made it back to the city that inspires him the most. Artists like Black Sheep, Jon. B, Lauryn Hill, Kanye West, to name a few have been essential throughout the growth of Cartier as an artist. Not going out of his comfort zone, Cartier speaks about the life he knows, and once knew. Whether it’s his obsession with Ralph Lauren, the boarding school lifestyle, the plethora of females he’s encountered, teenage love, or just being a teenager in general, Cartier knows how to manipulate his words, and gives off a clear visual of what he’s going through. Going back and forth from Connecticut and Toronto makes it hard for the 21 year old to record and put the effort needed in to his records, but so far he’s making it work. Granted, Cartier is still young, but talent is talent, and he has lots of it. The tennis playing, private school attending, luxurious teenager has a lot of time a head of him, and what he has to say is worth listening to. As a rising star in Toronto, Cartier is sure to make his city proud with what his future has in store.

Chorus
Say Something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me
I can't read minds like minds like
Say something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me
I can't waste time like time like
Say something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me
I can't read no I can't read
Say something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me

Verse 1
Tendencies in leavin me me on read
You ain't even taking want I said
Telling everything to your friends
They the ones filling up your head
Fire marshall this a real life drill
We got acquainted with them feel right pills
Touch your skin and it feels like silk
Like a kiss from a rose make me feel like Seal
I feel in love with them late night thrills
I'm on the ledge like dangling legs
Taking a leap right into your bed
She keep acting afraid i go up and away
She still stuck in her ways around places and faces lets see

Chorus
Say something to me you aint ever say nothing to me
I can't read minds like minds like
Say something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me
I can't waste time like time like
Say something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me
I can't read no I can't read
Say something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me

Verse 2
Come get up when you fall
Through ups and downs
I'm still loving you all
Got tats on your neck
Yes and i covered them all
I've done things way back
Still rubbing you wrong
Heart I neglect and
The heart you protect
With the hoes I regret
To the lies you detect
There's cause and effect and
I know I'm inept and
I still got flaws meant for you to accept so
Dont be afraid mama dont fuck with your head mama
They know the plays doing everything instead mama
They want the spread but they fucking up the bread mama
I just had lay it on ya tell em what ya say mama

Chorus
Say Something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me
I can't read minds like minds like
Say something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me
I can't waste time like time like
Say something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me




I can't read no I can't read
Say something to me cause you aint ever say nothing to me
