Sick an' tired of five-oh runnin' up. on the block here

Informer you no say daddy me. Snow me I'll go blame
A licky boom boom down
Detective mon said daddy me Snow. me stab someone down the lane
A licky Boom Boom down.

Police them come an' now they. blow down me door
One him come crawl through. through my window
So then they put me in the back the car at the station
From that point on me reach my destination
When the destination reached it. was the east detention
Where them whipped down me pants looked up me bottom so

Me for want to use it once an' now me call me lover
Lover who I'll be callin' is the one Tammy
An' me love her in me heart down to my belly
Yes me daddy me Snow me I feel cool an' deadly
As the one MC Shan an' the one daddy Snow
Together we-a love 'em as a Tor-Na-Do

Me sittin' 'round cool with my dibbie dibbie girl
Police knock my door lick up my pal.
Rough me up an' 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 hangin' with the Snowman
What I'm gonna do I'm backed an' I'm trapped
Slap me in the face an' took all o' my gap
They have no clues an' they want to get warmer
But Shan won't turn informer

Informer you no say daddy me. Snow me I'll go blame
A licky boom boom down
Detective mon said daddy me Snow. me stab someone down the lane
A licky Boom Boom down.

Soooo…. That’s complete nonsense.

I read an article on this once (from memory so dont quote me) but the guy grew up with a lot of Jamaican immigrants and their kids and picked up Jamaican Patois and the associated slang and street terms as a second language, he was also a rapper. Its been called cultural appropriation by some people... personally I think growing up with people of a different ethnicity and learning their language AND making art with it is a bit different but people will make their own judgements.

Its a mash up of english and that but Its not nonsense if you speak the language.

It's about blasting snitches.

What's a licky boom boom down?

[–] CptInsane0 1 points 9 months ago

Shooting them with a gun.

I'm not a Jamaican patois speaker, but I think it's "A licky boom boom dem" and translates to "Are ass-lickers, them".

Ok we need something white that sounds like ice but isn’t ice, and vanilla is already taken. Suggestions?

I got the same shock a couple of years ago when stumbling upon the video for the first time

If you listen closely, during the chorus, his rapping connects to dialup AOL.
