Give Jah Some Time
Jah Mason Lyrics

Most High, Selassie I
Just ask and it shall be given to InI

Just give Jah some time
He'll make your light shine
Just seek and you'll find
That you so divine
Just give Jah some time
He'll make your light shine
Just seek and you'll find

That you so divine

Alright well my time it's precious make me meditate
I keep it conscious me never hesitate
Bad ways, sideways, them got to be?
I got to be clean and so I procreate the most high lifestyle
Is the battle that the war not over well
Them no win the battle yet watch out traitors and spies confederate
Them no know

Just give Jah some time
He'll make your light shine
Just seek and you'll find
That you so divine
Just give Jah some time
He'll make your light shine
Just seek and you'll find
That you so divine

Alright well
Them a bang a wrong well dat a no winner
Visualize and organize
So me a go eat mi dinner
Na make them control me in any of the arena
? Every youth want a beamer
Got my family to provide for
I'm the bread winner
Mama taught me not to be a sinner
Certain things rasta man got to keep it royal

Just give Jah some time
He'll make your light shine
Just seek and you'll find
That you so divine
Just give Jah some time
He'll make your light shine
Seek and you'll find
That you so divine

Alright well my time it's precious make me meditate
I keep it conscious me never hesitate
Bad ways, sideways, them got to be?
I got to be clean and so I procreate the most high lifestyle
Is the battle that the war not over well
Pagan no win the battle yet
Watch out the traitors and spies confederate
Them no know

Just give Jah some time
He'll make your light shine
Just seek and you'll find
That you so divine
Just give Jah some time
He'll make your light shine
Seek and you'll find
That you so divine

Alright well
Them a bang a wrong well dat a no winner
Visualize and organize
So me a go eat mi dinner
Na make them control me in any of the arena
? Every youth want a beamer
Got my family to provide for

He'll make your light shine
Just seek and you'll find
That you so divine
Just give Jah some time
He'll make your light shine
Seek and you'll find
That you so divine

Born in Manchester, Jamaica, reggae singer Jah Mason made his debut in 1991 with the single "Selassie I Call We." Recorded for Junior Reid's record label, the single appeared under the name Perry Mason, a nickname Mason had picked up during his childhood due to his ability to settle arguments. He always preferred the country to the city since it was easier to meditate there and as Mason claims, "I can communicate with the birds and the trees."

Recorded for Junior Reid's record label, the single appeared under the name Perry Mason, a nickname Mason had picked up during his childhood due to his ability to settle arguments. He always preferred the country to the city since it was easier to meditate there and as Mason claims, "I can communicate with the birds and the trees." After hooking up with David House, who had successfully guided singer Capleton to international fame, this spiritual side of Mason began to flourish. In 1995 he became a member of the Rastafarian branch Bobo Ashanti, changed his performing name from Perry Mason to Jah Mason, and began recording conscious reggae where the message was as important as the music. Jamaican hits like "My Princess Gone" and "Lion Look" and guest shots on a few Jah Cure singles appeared before the full-lengths Keep Your Joy (Ghetto Technology) and Unlimited (Reggae Vibes) both landed in 2002. Never Give Up (On The Corner) from 2004 found him working with international producers including Dan "Piloni" Kark from Israel. The 2006 album Princess Gone: The Saga Bed appeared on the VP label, which was distributed by the worldwide giant Universal.
