Anthony Moses Davis (born 22 August 1973), better known by his stage name Beenie Man, is a Grammy award-winning Jamaican reggaedancehall recording artist. He is referred to as the world's "King of Dancehall".
Biography
Davis was born in the Waterhouse district of Kingston in 1973. He was involved in the music industry from a young age, starting toasting at the age of five, and was encouraged by his uncle Sydney Knowles, who played drums for Jimmy Cliff. He won the Tastee Talent contest in 1981, and Radio DJ Barry G introduced him to local sound system operators, who helped to establish the popularity of the young deejay, who became known as Beenie Man. He recorded his debut single, "Too Fancy", with record producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes in 1981, with Lawes also including him on the 1983 album Junjo Presents Two Big Sounds alongside established stars such as Dillinger, Fathead, and Ringo. His debut album, The Invincible Beenie Man: The Ten Year Old DJ Wonder was produced by Bunny Lee and released in 1983, his first hit single following the same year with the Winston Holness-produced "Over the Sea". In 1984 Beenie Man recorded some material with Barrington Levy (released ten years later), but his music career was put on hold while he finished school, and spent time travelling to the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada.

Verse 1: I'm brave but I'm shaking I'm near but yet I'm far I don't believe in civilization But yet I still drive a car I'm crippled but I'm walking I'm freed yet I'm barred I don't believe in hard work But still I have a farm Chorus: But look what it all comes down to Ain't goona figure it yet 'Till you have one hand full of ashes And the other hand is putting your soul to rest Verse 2: I'm broke but I'm still spending I'm poor but I'm kind I'm a sinner yet I'm an angel I'm leading but I'm behind I'm dumb but I'm talking I'm seeing yet I'm blind I'm dull but I'm still shinning I'm alive but I can die Chorus Verse 3: I ain't hungry but I'm drinking I hate liquor but I'm drinking wine I'm puzzled to be crowned king I'm the law but I do crime I'm cool but I'm vicious I'm a fool but I'm wise I'm a politician but I'm not voting I guess this is the end of my line Chorus Verse 4 (Bridge): I'm sad but I'm happy I'm not gonna loose my mind It's late but it's so early
