From Song Meanings and Facts: Meaning of “Informer” by Snow Ft. MC Shan

BY SMF · PUBLISHED APRIL 21, 2019

First off, the word informer, when used as a colloquial term, is synonymous with the word ‘snitch’. It therefore has a negative connotation, especially in relation to Jamaican patois, the dialect in which this track is chanted. As such, Snow penned “Informer” basically as an insult against those who he claimed “snitched on” him, which led to him doing 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. He also references the criminal charges (two counts of attempted murder) which led to his incarceration.

First Verse

In the first verse, Snow recounts the police raid that led to his arrest. This included them “blow(ing) down (his) door” as well as an additional officer who ‘crawled through his window’. From there, they took him to the aforementioned East Detention, where he went through the usual invasive inspections a new inmate must endure.

Second Verse

The second verse is for the most part dedicated to Snow recalling that he used the one phone call the prison allowed him to holla at his shorty, who he missed. He later bigs himself up and also gives a shoutout to MC Shan.

Third Verse

In the third verse, Snow sets out to validate his authenticity as a reggae artist by stating that even though he is not from Jamaica (the birthplace of the genre) “pure Black people” are ‘all that he knows’.  And in that regard, he also references the fact that he grew up in poverty, in Toronto. 

Fourth Verse

Finally his fourth verse is about a “nice young lady” who impressed him. He also bigs up himself once again, stating that he is not privy to being bested by his enemies as well as mentioning his standard of “reaching for the top”.

MC Shan’s Verse

Meanwhile MC Shan’s singular verse is very-descriptive and sticks to the overall theme of the track. He weaves a tale of chilling at home with his shorty, when the police come a-knocking and wind up “lick(ing) up (his) pal”, meaning that they shot up his homey. Shan eventually ends up at the police station, where he is abused by law enforcement. Apparently what they desire is for him to snitch.  However, despite their best attempts, “Shan won’t turn informer”.

Conclusion

As can be seen, Snow covers various topics throughout this song. However, the central theme of it is a ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-xihGeI72Y
