Meanwhile MC Shan's singular verse is very-descriptive andsticks to the overall theme of the track. He also bigs up himself once again, stating that he is not privy to beingbested by his enemies as well as mentioning his standard of 'reaching for thetop'. Fourth Verseįinally his fourth verse is about a 'nice young lady' who impressedhim. And in that regard, he also references the fact that he grew upin poverty, in Toronto. In the third verse, Snow sets out to validate hisauthenticity as a reggae artist by stating that even though he is not fromJamaica (the birthplace of the genre) 'pure Black people' are ‘all that heknows'.
Informer, you no say that's who I'm gonna blame a licky boom boom down Detective man said Daddy Snow I stabbed someone down the lane a licky boom boom down Police than come and they blow down my door One him crawl through my window so than they put me in the back of the car at the station From that point on I reached my destination Now the. He later bigs himself up and also gives ashoutout to MC Shan.
The second verse is for the most part dedicated to Snowrecalling that he used the one phone call the prison allowed him to holla athis shorty, who he missed. From there, they tookhim to the aforementioned East Detention,where he went through the usual invasive inspections a new inmate must endure. This included them 'blow(ing) down (his) door' as well asan additional officer who ‘crawled through his window'. In the first verse, Snow recounts the police raid that ledto his arrest. He also references the criminal charges(two counts of attempted murder) which led to hisincarceration. As such, Snow penned 'Informer' basically asan insult against those who he claimed 'snitched on' him, which led to himdoing an eight-month bid in the maximum-security Toronto East Detention Center.Owing to this, the hook of the track is based on Snow physically threatening the'informer' who got him locked down.
It therefore has anegative connotation, especially in relation to Jamaican patois, the dialect inwhich this track is chanted. First off, the word informer, when used as acolloquial term, is synonymous with the word ‘snitch'.
