[Chorus 2x]
She's legal, tender and fine
She's not conceited but she knows she's a dime
She's legal, tender and fine
She picked my pocket but committed no crime
[Verse 1]
Let me tell ya a little story about this girl named Missy
She a born and she raised to keep dem mon hungry
Body shape, hair cut like Halle Berry
Fool of the mon that try to come tame this sassy
What she want is a mon who can handle her right
All through the night, baller for life
Well I can smash it up
And I can love it up
But only girl if you want to give it up
[Verse 2]
Can I get that
Can I hit that
Can I get that
I want that
I need that
Can I kiss that
Wouldn't miss that
Cause I know what you need
Mama shake that
[Chorus 2x]
[Verse 3]
Here's another tale about this girl name Laura
You can find her shiny teeth at any corner
Nice and ready for da mon who want spend him dollar
So soon as she see Snow she wasn't spend me dollar
So we jump in da whip and headed to the crib
Then she started to express how she like that informer
She said I'll nice it up then I'll love it up
But when da Laura through you'll have to pay it up
[Verse 2]
[Chorus 2x]
[Verse 2]
[Chorus 2x]
Darrin O'Brien (born October 30, 1969), better known by his stage name Snow, is a Canadian reggae musician. He is best known for his 1993 single "Informer", which reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
Snow was born and raised in the North York district of Toronto, Ontario. For much of his childhood, he lived in the Allenbury Gardens housing projects, and at the age of 16 moved to Ajax, Ontario.[citation needed]
Snow was discovered by a Jamaican-born DJ named Marvin Prince, while living in Ajax. The name Snow, a backronym for "Super Notorious Outrageous Whiteboy", was given to him by Marvin Prince. Prince took Snow to New York City and introduced him to MC Shan, who introduced them both to producer David Kenneth Eng and Steve Salem. Snow eventually signed a contract to record on their Motorjam/Elektra record label. His 1993 debut album was 12 Inches of Snow. MC Shan and Marvin Prince produced the entire album while Snow was imprisoned for a year on an assault charge.
Upon his release from prison, Snow's first single "Informer", written by Marvin Prince, became a chart topping hit. The album sold over 8 million records worldwide, with the single from the album "Informer" remaining number 1 on the American Billboard charts for seven consecutive weeks. "Informer" has been recorded twice in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best selling reggae single in U.S. history, as well as the highest charting reggae single in history. A second single, "Girl I've Been Hurt", reached Number 19 on the Hot 100.
In 1995, Marvin Prince departed from Snow, and MC Shan worked on Snow's second album, Murder Love, which also featured production work by Junior Reid, Hurby "LuvBug" Azor, and others, as well as guest appearances by Junior Reid, Ninjaman, Half Pint, and others.
Although Snow's subsequent albums performed poorly (except in Japan and Jamaica) after Marvin Prince's departure, he returned to the Canadian pop charts in 2000 with "Everybody Wants to Be Like You", and again in 2002 with "Legal", and worked on a new album with Red Zone and Trackmasters in 2007.
Nominated for nine Juno Awards, his one win was in 1994, the Best Reggae Recording for "Informer"
