"Informer" by Snow at karaoke, sung by Pierre

Pierre holds forth with one of his most house-bringing-down karaoke songs: "Informer" (1993) by Snow with MC Shan.

(I estimate 870 WORDS in 4min 15sec! Well over 200 wpm!)

LYRICS:
[or at least the karaoke version I keep seeing on the screen]

[Spoken:]
[MC Shan:] What's up man?
[Snow:] Hey yo, what's up?
[MC Shan:] Yeah what's goin on here?
I'm sick an' tired of five-o [the police*] runnin' up here on the block. You know what I'm sayin'?
Yo Snow, they came around here lookin' for you the other day.
[Snow:] Word?
[MC Shan:] Word! Busted!

CHORUS:

[Snow:] Informer, you no say that-a me Snow me I'll go blame,
A licky boom boom down. [I'll get you for that.]
Detective mon say say that-a me Snow me stab someone down the lane [prison lane],
A licky boom boom down.
Informer, you no say that-a me Snow me I'll go blame,
A licky boom boom down.
Detective mon say say that-a me Snow me stab someone down the lane,
A licky boom boom down.


Police a-them in-a come an' now they blow down me door,
One him come crawl through, through my window,
So they put me in the back they car at the station,
From that point on me reach my destination,
When the destination reached, and now the East Detention, where they
Look down me pants, look up me bottom, so

CHORUS

Big all them are, they think they have more power,
They 'pon the phone me say that one a-want me,
For want to use it once an' now me call me lover,
Lover who me callin' are the one Tammy,
An' me love her in me heart down to my belly,
Yes say that-a 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,

CHORUS

Listen for me, ya better listen for me now.
Listen for me, ya better listen for me now.
When me around a microphone me rock on steady-a,
Yes say that-a me Snow me are the article don.
But then in an' out of the dance they say where you come from?
People them say you come from Jamaica,
But me born an' raised in the ghetto only one chance to know-a
Pure brown people mon is all I mon know.
Yeah me shoes a-them tear up an' now me toes used to show,
Where me-a born? In the one Toronto! so

CHORUS

Come with a nice young lady.
Intelligent, yes she gentle an' irie.
Everywhere me go, me never left her at all-ee.
Yes say that-a me Snow me are the roam dance mon-a.
Roam between a dance in a in a nation-a.
You never know say that-a me Snow me are the boom shakata.
Me never lay-a down flat in that one cardboard box.
Yes say that-a me Snow me I'll go reachin at the top, so...

CHORUS

Why would?
Why would he?
Anyone? Anyone?

[spoken:]
[MC Shan:] Me sittin' round coolin' 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, 'cuz 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 wanna get warmer,
But Shan won't turn Informer!

[Snow:] CHORUS

Diddley down diddley diddley down down would
Anyone anyone anyone

(Here's one for the books: a truly EXTREME medical reaction from a girl who is watching the "Informer" video from SNOW. She not only gets horny, she gets purple-baboon-buttocks horny! What a charming lady. If I had had one-hundredth of that reaction when I young I would have been a happy man...)

Very nice actually , i bet this guy is a truck driver or something . So he is definitely in wrong business :)

[Dracopol]

Truck driver?! Hahahaha. No, I work in public relations and use my radio voice on people over the phone.

[NedYahNRonnoc]

honestly, this is one of the better ones I have seen on youtube *applauds*

[Dracopol]

Why, thank you! That was unexpected. Are you from the Toronto karaoke scene or commenting from a distance?

I also try to provide useful information and good links in the right-side info box.

[NedYahNRonnoc]

yeah I am in western Canada, nice job again, hope to see more like it :)

[Dracopol]

More karaoke songs will be posted soon, dude! I will be posting me singing "The Logical Song" by Supertramp and even "Liar", the romantic song about relationships (yeah, RIGHT!) by Henry Rollins and the Henry Rollins Band. There is also an amazing duet on my channel, not by me, but a karaoke mash-up of Green Day + Oasis.

[KelwinDicks666]

Grab the audio from this video at tubepull doht cohm.

[UNAVA1LABL3username]

Those are not the real lyrics and he got alot of them wrong plus he's off tune and he goes too slow

[mentatemre]

if i was there, i would have bought you 10 beers! Very nice

[DIETRYINVICTORIOUSLY]

Next you should do "Lonely Monday Morning" thats my shit man!!! Awesome!!!

[DIETRYINVICTORIOUSLY]

Next you should do "Lonely Monday Morning" thats my shit man!!! Awesome!!!

[GeetarAdam]

Lol! Not bad, man.

[hirofan]

OK.. so he think he is a failure. Why is it necessary for you to tell the world, even worse tell the guy himself? Your actions are very hurtful. I expect better from Canadians.

[varsume]

ok ok I'm sorry he's a fat fucking failure

[hirofan]

Just because you're a slut doesn't give you right to be mean. This guy's performance is pretty good. Apologize to the man, bi-yatch.

[varsume]

he sucks - fat failure
