A licky boom boom down
Informer, ya' no say daddy me Snow me I go blame

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 I'm gonna do? I'm backed 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

Informer, ya' no say daddy me Snow me I go blame
A licky boom boom down
'Tective man a say, say daddy me Snow me stab someone down the lane
A licky boom boom down
Informer, ya' no say daddy me Snow me I go blame

Snow’s “Informer”: How A Stop Snitching Anthem Became A No. 1 Pop Hit In 1993
Even if you don’t know the words (see here), you know the song. Snow’s early ‘90s hit “Informer” was peculiar for a No. 1 record — those mumbled lyrics are actually about murdering snitches. Still, the Toronto dancehall artist managed to drop a smash that capitalized off its catchy cadence and incoherent lyrics. It was like Desiigner before Desiigner. Writer @lukefoxjukebox went deep on the song’s history and creation to share how exactly “Informer” became one of the most successful reggae songs of all time. Quotes from both Snow and the song’s producer MC Shan here.
