I'm sittin here listenin to an early '90s compilation and BANG!!

This song hits....I'm laughin my ass off

But again, I used to love this song when I was little.

"Informer" by Snow.....

check it out...

if you dare!!!

That song was cool for a minute!

This guy sounded like Jar Jar Binks before there ever WAS a Jar Jar Binks.

I guess that would then make him a pioneer in some weird way

i am a fast speaker , but even i dont get the words

The compilation comes with a lyrics sheet (thankfully!)

So here's a translation:

Mind you I knew this song was about him getting arrested for a crime he didn't commit.

Also, "Informer" is the Jamaican word for Cop/Policeman, etc.

What's up man
Yo what's up what's going on
I'm sick and tired of 5-0 running up on the block
You know what I'm saying yo Snow
they came around looking for you the other day
Word, word

CHORUS

Informer, you no say that's who I'm gonna blame
A licky boom boom down
Detecive man said Daddy Snow
I stabbed someone down that lane
A licky boom boom down
Informer, you no say that's who I'm gonna blame
A licky boom boom down
Detecive man said Daddy Snow
I stabbed someone down that lane
A licky boom boom down

Police them came and they blow down my door
One him a crawl through my window
So they put me in the back of the car at the station
From that point on I reached my destination
Now the last detention reached was the fast detention
Where they whipped down my pants and look up my bottom

CHORUS

Listen to me, you better listen to me now
Listen to me, you better listen to 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
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'm the boom shataka
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, why would he...
Me sitting round cool with my dibby dibby girl
Police knock my door
Kick up my pal
Rough me up and I can't do a thing
Pick up my line when my telephone rings
Take me to the station
Black up my hands
Trail me down cause I'm hanging with the snowman
What I'm gonna do
I'm black and I'm trapped
Slap me in the face and took all of my gap
They have no clues and they wanna get warmer
But shan won't turn informer

CHORUS

When I first heard this song I thought he was rhyming in Swedish. I was young back then.
