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.

Jazz Cartier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What is the deal?, Nigga
Let's keep it real, nigga
I'm under your skin want something to win
How does it feel?, Nigga
Everybody tell me I'm the bad guy
When niggas always get up on my bad side
And bitches want to come and take pic of me
Pretty nigga, I ain't never had a bad side
Bad boys nigga Im the anchor of the franchise (never take an L)
Always win it by a landslide
Finna go ham for my niggas in the sandlot
Niggas ain't winning long as Cuzzi be on lantz side
Yeah right tap out, won't stop 'til you tap out, won't stop 'til you pass out
Black out, black out (black out, black out)
Switch

We ain't on the same side
We ain't in the same league
I stay down with my niggas
And I ain't never switched teams
Switch
Nigga all we do is win
But y'all don't know what that means
'Cause y'all niggas ain't down
Y'all niggas switched teams
Switch

We ain't on the same side
We ain't in the same league
I stay down with my niggas
And I ain't never switched teams
Switch

I am no fucking beginner
I am a ignorant nigga
I eat you niggas for dinner
I'm bout to head to the lot
Cop me a Bimmer, fuck it throw on the spinners
Pardon my manners, my girl got a body for 'bana
Hand always covered in henna
Shout out to my lawyer for buckin' my charges
'Cause I am not built for the slimmer
Red hot, red dot, nigga head shot
All the bread talk, I'm gon' put it to a dead stop
My dreadlocks make the feds stop
My niggas gonna change clothes when the threads pop
GHS nigga, you know that we the best nigga
Do I gotta say it twice to you deaf niggas
GHS nigga, you know that we the best nigga
Winter time, summer time, we ain't never stress nigga
Cuzzi

We ain't on the same side
We ain't in the same league
I stay down with my niggas
And I ain't never switched teams
Switch
Nigga all we do is win
But y'all don't know what that means
'Cause y'all niggas ain't down
Y'all niggas switched teams
Switch

We ain't on the same side
We ain't in the same league
I stay down with my niggas
And I ain't never switched teams
Switch
We ain't on the same side
We ain't in the same league
I stay down with my niggas
And I ain't never switched teams
Nigga all we do is win
But y'all don't know what that means
'Cause y'all niggas ain't down
Y'all niggas switched teams
Switch

We ain't on the same side
We ain't in the same league
I stay down with my niggas

But y'all don't know what that means
'Cause y'all niggas ain't down
Y'all niggas switched teams

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jazz Cartier's "Switch" present the Toronto rapper as a confident individual who doesn't tolerate traitors or those who abandon their team for personal gain. The chorus repeats the line "We ain't on the same side, we ain't in the same league" to emphasize the distance between Cartier and those who switch allegiances. This underlying theme can be interpreted as a message to others in the music industry or perhaps even to friends or acquaintances in his personal life.


Cartier's mention of being the "anchor of the franchise" suggests that he sees himself as a key player in the rap game and that his success is intertwined with his team's. He also boasts about being a "pretty nigga" and never having a bad side (both physically and metaphorically) while others are quick to label him as the "bad guy." His confidence is reinforced as he spits lines such as "always win it by a landslide" and "I eat you niggas for dinner."


Overall, "Switch" is a powerful anthem about loyalty and staying true to those who have supported you throughout your journey. Cartier's brash personality and clever wordplay add extra weight to the message and make it a standout track in his discography.
