I-taweh spent most of his childhood farming alongside his father and four siblings. As a youth, he began playing music with his family and friends. His musical career started shortly after his move from the country to Kingston in 1992, where he was given the name “Danny Gitz” because of his growing reputation as an outstanding musician. He began his first tour with “High Symbol” in 1994. He then went on to become the youngest member of the original Nyabhingi group “The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari”.

Jag har mått sämst, jag kan inte må sämre
Jag har mått bäst, jag kan bara må bättre
Röker och vi tänker, skit i om de märker
Om vi skänker, då vi skänker
Om de knas, jag hämtar Henke
Jag har mått sämst, jag kan inte må sämre

Jag har mått bäst, jag kan bara må bättre
Röker och vi tänker, skit i om de märker
Om vi skänker, då vi skänker
Om de knas, jag hämtar Henke

Dinero, dinero, jagar ba dineros
Dinero, dinero, vill inte va zero
Dinero, bandilero, alla barnen här kallar mig för hero
Du kan se på stilen, jag pushar yeyo
Tänker så många steg, försöker va lay-low
Gör det inte för någon fame, no
Gör det bara för mina bankrolls
Rocks on rolls, rockstar som Rolling Stones
Rollin' och jag är stoned
Horny, jag knullar nån hoe, homie
Skandelo, Marbella med mina bros
Varför välja en, när religionen säger four?
Det är time to go, får inte missa nästa show
Oh no no, oh no no, no no

Rocks on rolls, rockstar som Rolling Stones
Rollin' och jag är stoned
Horny, jag knullar nån hoe, homie
Skandelo, Marbella med mina bros
Varför välja en, när religionen säger four?

Jag har mått sämst, jag kan inte må sämre

Röker och vi tänker, skit i om de märker
Om vi skänker, då vi skänker
Om de knas, jag hämtar Henke

Jag röker gröna bloss, startar upp en egen stratosfär
Min förebild banka på en colombian
Han blev en miljardär
Sen jag varit liten har de sagt måste ha företag om livet ska va bra
Men min vän är en miljonär
Och han har bara skickat en marrockan, skickat marrockaner
Dubbeltrubbel när vi dricker våran bubbel, län
Stål i pungen om jag känner mig tvungen, ey
Tripp på choklad och jag känner hela ruset
Tänk att lite rostfritt stål fick situationen lugna sig
Vill du också åka på tåget, kom och testa mig
Kom och testa mig, kom testa mig

Rocks on the roll, rockstar like Rolling Stones
Rollin', I am stoned
Horny, fuckin' a hoe, homie
Marbella with the bro, nu Skandelo
Why choose one when the dean tells me to have four?

Jag har mått sämst, jag kan inte må sämre
Jag har mått bäst, jag kan bara må bättre
Röker och vi tänker, skit i om de märker
Om vi skänker, då vi skänker
Om de knas, jag hämtar Henke
Jag har mått sämst, jag kan inte må sämre
Jag har mått bäst, jag kan bara må bättre
Röker och vi tänker, skit i om de märker

Om vi skänker, då vi skänker
Om de knas, jag hämtar Henke

Jag röker gröna bloss, startar upp en egen stratosfär
I smoke green weed, creating my own atmosphere

Min förebild banka på en colombian
My role model dealt with Colombians

Han blev en miljardär
He became a billionaire

Sen jag varit liten har de sagt måste ha företag om livet ska va bra
Since I was little, they said I need a business to have a good life

Men min vän är en miljonär
But my friend is a millionaire

Och han har bara skickat en marrockan, skickat marrockaner
And he only sent a package of hashish

Dubbeltrubbel när vi dricker våran bubbel, län
Double trouble when we drink our champagne, link up

Stål i pungen om jag känner mig tvungen, ey
Money in my pockets if I feel pressured, ey

Tripp på choklad och jag känner hela ruset
High on chocolate and feeling the buzz

Tänk att lite rostfritt stål fick situationen lugna sig
It's funny how a little stainless steel calmed the situation down

Vill du också åka på tåget, kom och testa mig
If you want to ride the train too, come and test me

Jag har mått sämst, jag kan inte må sämre
I've felt terrible, I can't feel worse

Jag har mått bäst, jag kan bara må bättre
I've felt great, I can only feel better

Röker och vi tänker, skit i om de märker
We smoke and think, don't care if they notice

Om vi skänker, då vi skänker
If we give, then we give

Om de knas, jag hämtar Henke
If things get crazy, I'll get Henke

Jag har mått sämst, jag kan inte må sämre
I've felt terrible, I can't feel worse

Jag har mått bäst, jag kan bara må bättre
I've felt great, I can only feel better

Röker och vi tänker, skit i om de märker
We smoke and think, don't care if they notice

Om vi skänker, då vi skänker
If we give, then we give

Om de knas, jag hämtar Henke
If things get crazy, I'll get Henke

Blown away by I-Taweh. I have been listening to Reggae Music for over 35 years and amazed that I am not more acquainted with his melodic music. Just started to listen to him in the last fee weeks and I am hooked.
