If you cooperate and "snitch" on someone who is dead, you can't keep claiming to be a solid street dude. Especially after consistently saying "I ain't never told on nobody" and having a such a short sentence.
It's highly possible that you told them other information and are a liability because the police can hold this over your head.
If you're in the streets as a man you should understand that prison and death are real possibilities.
