The song "Weh Dem Ah Say" by Movado portrays a classic gangster persona, with lyrics suggesting that the life of the gangster is tough, and they need to be careful of what they say and do. There is an underlying message to those who speak too much, or as the song puts it, "talk fassyhole," to refrain from it, or else they may face the consequences. There is a threat of violence throughout the song, with the dog being used as a metaphor for the gangsters who are hungry for blood. This violent imagery is coupled with lyrics that describe how the gangster life is celebrated and how its members are willing to do whatever it takes to keep themselves safe, even if it means taking someone else's life.
The song is a commentary on the state of Jamaica, which has been plagued by gang violence for years. It is a vivid description of the harsh realities of life on the street, where gangsters rule with fear and intimidation. The lyrics are delivered in a powerful tone, creating an atmosphere of danger and aggression. The song highlights the hard life people live, where there is a constant need to be wary of what people say or do, as it can easily lead to trouble.
