Nobody En Know

 

Nobody en know

But yet she telling me,

Maybe she telling me

Nobody but she.

 

Nobody en know

But she knows

When you talking to a bajan

That is how it goes.

 

Nobody en know

You see what I mean?

Only she knows

That is the scene.

 

It is like the Bible

That we talk about

But nobody en know

Yet loud we shout.

 

If somebody tells you

Nobody en know

It means dem en nobody

Cause them know.

 

Only this morning

I had this same situation,

Nobody en know

Came up in a conversation.

 

The person was adamant

That nobody en know

Yet became quite passionate

To prove this was so.

 

“I do not believe,” she said,

“It could not have been”

“Oh, there is no way”

Only she knew, it seems.

 

 

This particular incident

Was about Christ’s birth,

Nobody en know

When he came to earth.

 

“Shepherds in the field?

Not in winter they won’t,

Definitely not in December

No, surely, they couldn’t.

 

You Christians just talking

But It was not so,

Just listen for a minute

And let me show I know.”

 

Nobody en know

Seldom includes the speaker,

Everybody else is shallow

But she goes deeper.

So next time you say

Nobody en know,

Nobody, and that includes you,

Should also be so.

 

You don’t know

That nobody en know

Because you don’t know

What everybody knows.
