about

The idea and arrangement for Snake began with a sample-programmed drum beat that MC Connect created in 2018. In 2019 Connect wrote synth bass and developed the instrumentation and arrangement with samples. In 2020, Connect began penning lyrics to the instrumental during a jam session with mates in the garage of his Parramatta home. The theme of the song became the prevalence of fraudulent rap artists who quickly come and go from the spotlight and are unable to sustain their image because they are not genuine.

In 2021 MC Connect brought the song idea to Martin James’ studio, where the arrangement of the song was transformed. The intention was to create a song with very few repeating parts, and for the arrangement to seamlessly flow into new parts without the listener realising that this was not the usual chorus, verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus formula.
In production of the song, Martin James played bass guitar and electric guitar, MC Connect recorded vocals and following this, Avinash Chordia recorded live drums in the cramped space of Martin James’ Parramatta studio. MC Connect finalised the song with various samples and synthesizers. The song was mixed by James and Connect in 2022 and mastered by MC Connect in 2024.

In 2023 and 2024, MC Connect has been a regular live performer on the Sydney music scene playing at local bars and clubs alongside Sr. Malakai. Subscribe to MC Connect's mailing list at www.connectordiemusic.com

lyrics

Intro
Ya, today heads are rollin’
You drive it like you know it then you drive it like its stolen,
Ya, its regicide
You better step aside boy you better step aside

Allusion to chorusSnake, every step you take is fake,
In your boots your ankles…
Welcome to the AK odyssey
I’m AOK thanks for asking honestly (no really, thanks for asking)

Verse 1
I did my thesis in the art of connecting,
So don’t be an arsehole asking what connect is,
Most try to deflect or defect or reject,
I implore you to accept and reflect,

Cause many men try to be the champion,
I can say I did that and then some, ya
Don’t say that I used to be handsome,
I’m better than I’ve ever been, don’t hold me to ransom,

Ha! I’m checkin’ on ya, checkin’ on ya,
Wrecking ball through your window when my record’s on,
I’m known as electively selective,
Very efficient, super effective,

Pre chorus
And you, you had it all, stars in your eyes,
You let it slide, hello goodbye,
You started right then it went all wrong,
I’m asking, where are you going and where have you gone,
Singing Rah, Rah, Rah

Chorus
Snake, every step you take is fake,
In your boots your ankles shake,
When I see you I will take from you,
Snake, every step you take is fake,
In your boots your ankles shake,
When I see you I will take from you. – HA

Verse 2
Same story since the dawn o’ time,
You see the chance to take the crown, yeah make it mine,
Blood smeared on the palace walls and floors,
Now they’re looking to the heavens while the people clean it all,
How you think you’re gonna levitate in space,
Zero gravity with egg all on your face,
Now you’re looking to Connect to set the pace,
Take a bite of your ice, how it taste, how it taste?

Pre-Chrous 2
Cause you thought that you had it man,
But I’m from Parramatta man,
I chop and change a remix,
Let you all know that I’m coming with the real shit!

Alt-Chorus
You had it all, stars in your eyes, you let it slide, hello goodbye,
You started wrong, you made it right, you beat your wife, I take your life,
You had it all, stars in your eyes, you let it slide, hello goodbye,
You started wrong, you made it right, you beat your wife, I take your life,

Outro
Ha! I take your life,
Ha! I take your life,
Ha! I take your life,
Ha! I take your life…
