[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

[Verse 1]
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]
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

[Verse 2]
The bigger they are they think they have more power
They're on the phone me say that on every 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 me Daddy Snow, I'm the coolest daddy
The one MC Shan and the one that is Snow
Together we are like a tornado, informer
[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

[Skatting]

[Verse 3]
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]
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
[Verse 4]
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 that one cardboard box
Yes, me Daddy Snow I'm gonna reach to the top, so

[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

[Verse 5]
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 my gap
They have no clues and they wanna get warmer
But Shan won't turn informer
[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
