The lyrics to Shabba Ranks's song Dem Bow are controversial and offensive. The lyrics talk about homosexuality and the act of oral sex between men. The phrase "dem bow" is used to refer to men who perform oral sex on other men, and the phrase "like woah" is used to emphasize the intensity of the action. The lyrics also mention several people who are rumored to be gay, including former US President Barack Obama, and suggest that they engage in homosexual acts.
The overall tone of the song is homophobic and derogatory towards the LGBTQ+ community. The use of derogatory language and negative stereotypes perpetuates a harmful and divisive message that is deeply hurtful to many people. The song also uses violence as a way of expressing hatred towards the LGBTQ+ community, with lines like "kill out battie mon" and "bullet bullet pull up selector, blatt blatt".
