    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.

        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.
