      I always thought it was “I’ll lick your bum bum down”

      After looking up the lyrics, it’s nonsensical

      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. 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.

        It’s using Jamaican patois, not English. It’s about him getting strung up on 2 murder charges by a police informant.
