Do the coat
Kick rocks
Eat dirt

Oh, oh, oh, I can't believe what I see
I said, hey, hey, hey
I knew you'd crawl back to me
Oh, I, I, I
Ain't got no time for you, B
I'm chillin'
Gettin' my drink on
Drink on 'cause I'm

Cool on you
I'm too through
Used to have my loving
But now you ain't got nothing
I'm cool on you
You're in my rear view
Used to have my best
But now all that shit is dead
'Cause I'm cool on you

And ain't no coming back from that (do the coat)
And ain't no coming back from that (kick rocks)
And ain't no coming back from that (eat dirt)
And ain't no coming back from that

No, no, no
You can't say nothing to me
So just go, go, go
You ain't no damn VIP
No, I, I, I
Don't need no bad energy
Hey DJ, play me that Jim Jones

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mariah Carey's song "Cool on You" depict a sense of empowerment and independence after a breakup. The opening lines, "Do the coat, kick rocks, eat dirt," are dismissive and imply that the person she is addressing is insignificant and not worth her time or attention. She then expresses her disbelief in what she sees, suggesting that she did not expect the person to come crawling back to her after their breakup. She confidently asserts that she has no time for them and is focused on enjoying herself and her freedom.


The chorus of the song emphasizes her coolness and detachment from the person she has moved on from. She declares that she is "cool on you," meaning that she no longer has any emotional attachment or interest in them. The lyrics also highlight the shift in their relationship, as they used to have a strong connection and loving relationship, but now there is nothing left between them.


The repetition of the phrases "do the coat, kick rocks, eat dirt" emphasizes the finality of their separation. She states that there is no coming back from this point, reinforcing her decision to cut ties and move on. The strong and assertive lyrics convey a sense of empowerment and strength as she asserts her independence and dismisses the person from her life.

I honestly do believe Mariah Carey’s career should be use in schools as music study to show students what a talented vocalist and a successful seamstress look and sound like, I mean her millions of fans can’t be wrong in following and supporting her vastly successful career for over 3 decades. As her ageing fan, the one thing no one can take away from her is the fact her singing and music has always been consistent and unwavering, and she is the only original artist that can cover songs from other artists and breathe new lives into them by giving it the unique Mariah Carey signature vocal. Just like Mariah, Whitney Houston was a very unique artist, another legend and there will never be another Whitney Houston. However, as a beautiful tribute to Whitney’s legacy, it would have been a magical and an intense experience of a lifetime if Mariah Carey did an one off concert where she solely sang Whitney Houston’s all-time best songs with her signature vocals, I would definitely buy a ticket to witness that and I have a deep feeling that Whitney Houston would have sincerely appreciated that as they were both good friends in life, and considering how beautiful their duet, ‘when you believe’ was. Mariah Carey is a LIVING LEGEND, end off!

Whitney's estate or more specifically, Pat probably wouldn't allow that unless they received all of the proceeds but then again, Whitney didn't write her songs, so it might be possible.

Juan Castillo

I think this is probably gonna be every lamb's favorite MC album because it's full of new and unreleased material, diversity of genres and a piece of each era from this woman magestual career.

Mara H

@Noah Hutchison everyone sleeps on Charmbracelet!!

Mara H

@Juan Castillo daydream is my favorite album of hers as well

Mara H

@Juan Castillo you can hear her story and vocal developments/variety in her earlier albums too.. it’s never too late to be a lambily. I didn’t appreciate her until 2010ish

Noah Hutchison
