[Chorus: x2]
The first verse of Sean Paul's "Connection" talks about him reaching out to the ladies and making them happy. He mentions them drawing a "dutty cup youth" to slap it, which possibly means they are choosing a guy who is known to have a rough exterior. He also mentions the Boriquas (Puerto Ricans) calling him "papi", which means daddy; this term is used as a term of endearment as well as sexual in nature. The chorus talks about how he feels when the girl he likes touches his body and how excited he is to go home with her. He mentions taking it slow and enjoying each other's company without any expectations.
The second verse talks more explicitly about sex. Sean Paul claims to be a "connector" who knows how to give "the right pressure". He describes himself as a professor who can make the girl "wetter" and start "sweating," regardless of the weather. He claims to be a leader and a breeder who can quench the thirst of female desires. The chorus repeats itself before he goes on to say that he prefers pleasuring women to the extent where they feel everything he's got to offer.
