(= hello) ' Detective man said daddy me Snow me stab someone down the lane' would mean ' The detective said that I stabbed (killed) someone down the street'. To stab is to push a knife into somebody, and the lane is the street. 'me I' is an emphatic form of 'I', so ' you no say daddy me Snow me I'll go blame' would mean ' you don't say that I am going to be blamed' or ' you're not telling them I'm the one who killed him!'. The phrase 'daddy me Snow' I suppose just means 'I', with the idea that 'me, Snow, the daddy' (a daddy is a lover). Besides, there are many things I don't understand, so I've written a more standard version (just a little more standard) so you can understand a bit more.Р”Р„s you can notice, ME can be 'me', 'I' or 'my'.
