The lyrics of Lisa Hype's song "That Them Gwan Too" are a commentary on men who behave badly towards women. Don Corleone is addressed in the opening lines, and he is admonished not to start trouble with other men or get too close to women. The song then explores the issue of men who take advantage of women and treat them poorly. The lyrics suggest that men who do this are destined for punishment at the hands of a higher power, with the lines "Selassie ah fi ask you, how far inna hell him fi cast you." The song also draws a contrast between men who act disrespectfully towards women and those who treat them with respect, with the latter being seen as more desirable partners.
The lyrics of "That Them Gwan Too" reflect a broader cultural conversation about the treatment of women in Jamaica and beyond. The song highlights the dangers of toxic masculinity and the need for men to take responsibility for their behavior. It also celebrates women who are strong and independent and asserts their right to be treated with dignity and respect.
