Connected
A.D.C Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I jumped out the blocks like ready! set! go!
Check all my traps and dodge the fair cold
I'm all about the mix like a fuckin collage
And out the gararge, is the Bentley Onage
With the brains blowed out, so is the suns beeming
I got a jacket drooming and the hoes feeming
Since I'm Westside Connected I got a streets on hype
I got big deals, big squeels, big wheels, big pipes

Twenty-inches row - going get these hoes
Pinky hoes - when I roll with my negros
Be a freak about it and I'm a see about it
Speak about it, not bitch I'ma be about it
Who want some of this, West running this
Mack 10 with the playboy bunny bitch
She's a dummy bitch - with a money pit?
You broke ass niggas can't even stomach this

What that connect nigga like three times selling
Six-double-0-west nigga selling rich roll delling
Throw it up, hold it up, guns bust fo' fingas up
Two twisted in the middle with the thumb cuffed
Chevy Nash and dippin at ass and king of the zaggin
Fo'-fo' macking and coat tacking
Dub the hood and I'm in blue friend at 'em
Front up the club, I'm duolete, do for talk and mack 'em trick

What is it like? Tossing 'em hoes
And rolling on fools on them fo's
Flossing 'em chain, we doing big thangs
And busting on punks at close range
This is the way us gangsta's roll
Sit back and watch it as it unfolds
Bitches on suck us done so cold
Ahhh! this is the life we chose

Dope money and rapping shit I'm all with it
And all I know is streets is how I spit it
Chickenhawk see a bird, I gotta get it
So if ya hood come up sho', then I'd probably get it
If lil momma dick then I gotta hit it
The trojan gotta be a magnum for me to fit it
If you sherm on 'em stick then I'd probably lit it
The red beam is on your wig so I probably split it

To all them bitches that think they bootylicious
I think they new tricious - I think they do dishes
I make 'em three wishes - I take 'em they pictures
And spendin' they riches and fuckin' they bitches
Ego maniac - little homies call me brainiac
Ice Cube's an asshole and it ain't an act
So take a hit at that - and remember that
Where my motherfuckin niggas and my bitches at?

Britches I get I'm Dub-C, the rider with the clique
Like a dragon it's nothin' but fire when I spit
And I can't shake these ghetto ways
A street rich nigga eatin a bag of Lays
And the rubber bands and brains
From the turf for the sirens and Neverlands
Where we keep the pistols smoking just like Afghanistan
It's gangsta the killa - the dope dealer
Back for mo' figgas - so trick bow down and po' the liquor bitch

What is it like? Tossong 'em hoes
And Rolling on fools on them folks
Flossing 'em chain, we doing big thangs
And busting on punks at close range
This is the ways us gangsta's roll
Sit back and watch as it unfolds
Bitches on suck us done so cold
Ahhh! this is the life we chose

What is it like? Tossong 'em hoes
And Rolling on fools on them folks
Flossing 'em chain, we doing big thangs
And busting on punks at close range
This is the ways us gangsta's roll
Sit back and watch as it unfolds
Bitches on suck us done so cold
Ahhh! this is the life we chose

It's plain to see, you can't change me
Cause I'ma be Connected For Life

It's plain to see, you can't change me
Cause I'ma be Connected For Life

Yeah!, West Connect gang for life




Butch Cassidy, Manny Fresh you're a fool for this b-boy
Uh, uh, uh

Overall Meaning

The song “Connected” by A.D.O. is a classic representation of the West Coast Gangsta Rap genre of the early 2000s. The first verse, “I jumped out the blocks like ready! set! go! Check all my traps and dodge the fair cold,” sets an aggressive tone for the song. The rapper brags about his material possessions, including his Bentley, and how he’s “all about the mix like a f***in collage.” The chorus repeats, “What is it like? Tossing ‘em hoes and Rolling on fools on them folks,” with an air of pride and defiance.


Throughout the song, A.D.O. tells stories of gang life, including “dope money and rapping shit,” robbing, and shooting. He also emphasizes the importance of loyalty to his gang, stating “It’s plain to see, you can’t change me ‘cause I’mma be Connected For Life.” The lyrics are aggressive and boastful, meeting the common themes of Gangsta Rap.


Overall, “Connected” can be seen as a commentary on the harsh realities of gang life, as well as a demonstration of the pride and power found in belonging to a gang. The song is very much a product of its time and genre, but it remains a popular and influential piece of music.
