By one of the investigating Detectives.

She's angela kosmo's snitch,

And I think she's running cover For her.

This guy rick, he's a piece,

As far as homicide's concerned,

And they're willing to protect This sue.

Because?

Because kosmo's using her as a Snitch

In a homicide investigation

And she's being led around by Her nose.
