Informer by Snow

This is the only song I know by Snow, I'm guessing it was on the radio back in the day because I have no idea where I heard it the first time but I've heard it enough to know it pretty well.

[CHORUS:]

Informer

You know say Daddy Snow me, I'm gonna blame

A licky boom-boom down

'Tective man says Daddy Snow stabbed someone down the lane

A licky boom-boom down

Informer

You know say Daddy Snow me, I'm gonna blame

A licky boom-boom down

'Tective man says Daddy Snow stabbed someone down the lane

A licky boom-boom down

Police-a them-a they come and-a they blow down me door

One him come crawl through through my window

So they put me in the back of the car at the station

From that point on I reach my destination

Now the destination reached was the East Detention

Where they whipped down my pants and looked up my bottom

[CHORUS]

The bigger they are they think they have more power

They're on the phone me say that on hour

Me for want to use it once to call my lover

Lover who I'm gonna call is the one Tammy

I love her from my heart down to my belly

Yes Daddy Snow, I'm the coolest daddy

The one MC Shan and the one that is Snow

Together we are like a tornado

[CHORUS]

Listen for me ya better listen for me now

Listen for me ya better listen for me now

When I rock the microphone, I rock it steady

Yes sir Daddy Snow me are the Article Don

When I'm at a dance they say, "Where you come from?"

People then say I come from Jamaica

But I'm born and raised in the ghetto

That's all I want you to know

Pure black people man that's all I man know

My shoes used to tear up and my toes used to show

Where I'm born is the one Toronto, so

[CHORUS]

Come with a nice young lady

Intelligent, yes she's gentle and irie

Everywhere I go I've never left here at all

Yes, me Snow roam the dance

Roam the dance in every nation

You'd never know, me Daddy Snow

I am the Boom Shakata

I'll never lay down flat in one cardboard box

Yes, me Daddy Snow I'm gonna reach to the top, so

[CHORUS]

Why would he? [repeat]

[MC Shan:]

Me sitting round cool with my dibby dibby girl

Police knock my door, lick up my pal

Rough me up and I can't do a thing

Pick up my line when my telephone ring

Take me to the station, black up my hands

Trail me down 'cause I'm hanging with the Snowman

What am I gonna do, I'm black and I'm trapped

Smack me in my face, took all of my gap

They have no clues and they wanna get warmer

But Shan won't turn informer

[CHORUS]
