Princess Gone
Jah Mason Lyrics

Rastafari know.
Where mi princess dey star
Come in like she make a trod a ya
Yo, den, yo, yo, yo, den, yo...
My Princess gone
Far far away
And she left me a note
Saying she's going to stay
My Princess gone
Far far away

And she left me a note
Saying she's going to stay
From di other day, say she a flop up, & mi see say she go flip
Wit di likkle short shorts, she have hitch up pan her hip
Is like she all forget about... di royalness
Her friend and company, she a follow mi get di tip
Yo, roundabout she just a jump, she jus a skip,
Say what happen to the honor you know you use to keep
Say what happen to the King, where you use to be wit
Yo, well mi see say dat a un. unloyal
And she left me a note
Saying she's going to stay
And she left me a note
Saying she's going to stay
I make di trod inna di days, she make di trod inna di night
And she know say she was wrong
And she know dat I was right
What happen to royalness, no more you nah act polite
When mi see say dat you, ready fi, put up a fight
From di away day mi, see say you, acting hype
When your friend dem you go follow, and you follow di wrong type
And she left me a note
Saying she's going to stay
And she left me a note
Saying she's going to stay
From di other day she just a flop up, & mi see say she go flip
Wit di likkle short shorts, she have hitch up pan her hip
She nuh memba bout di, king royalness
When a friend and company, she a follow mi a get di tip
Say what happen to the King man you use to be wit
Yo, well a, it seem like say she diss

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." 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.
