Short for ad libitum. Means spontaneously, without prior practice or just unrestrained. Often refers to artists improvising, also known as "ad libbing", in other words playing from the top of their heads.
After the song was done they kinda started ad libbing into what seemed to be a whole new track, but was really just the guitarist fooling around.

A text ad-lib is an improvised way of saying something random in a conversation. Just like how rappers improvise and use ad-libs in a song, it is an optional way of communicating differently that can be used to change the subject
Person 1:”For real though what’s going on”
Person 2:”Tap in 🙈📲”
Person 3:”Stop with the text ad-libs man what’s the point of those”
Person 2:”He do be lookin kinda fresh doe😳”
Person 2:”Text ad-libs are a good way to change the subject don’t even cap.They are an improvised way of saying something random in a conversation.”
