Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows
I just go where the trade wind blows
Sendin' love to my friends and foes and I suppose
I'm pleased to be chillin' in the West Indies
Jah provide all my wants and my needs, oh dread
Okay
[Verse 3]
Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows
I just go where the trade wind blows
Sendin' love to my friends and foes and I suppose
I'm pleased to be chillin' in the West Indies
Jah provide all my wants and my needs
I got the sunshine and rivers and trees, green leaves
[Verse 4]
When me see jah me see a way
Drastically stray from hypocrisy I say, hey
Every man to them own philosophy
I live the proper way and then mi read a chapter a day
[Verse 5]
Man deh in the city, hungry and no eat
And food deh down a country just a drop off a di tree dem
You see say poverty no real then
Is what the reasoning revealin'
[Verse 6]
Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows
I just go where the trade wind blows
Sendin' love to my friends and foes and I suppose
I'm pleased to be chillin' in the West Indies
Jah provide all my wants and my needs
I got the sunshine and rivers and trees, green leaves, yeah
[Verse 7]
When the rain pitta pat on the roof
Herb just a steam pepper pot 'pon the still
Life is a dream if you got gratitude
So, go tell the regime they can't stop what we do now
[Verse 8]
Information you think on your own
Or else you're a slave to the things that you know
What do you know if you learn everyday
So be careful a things what you say
[Verse 9]
Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows
I just go where the trade wind blows
Sendin' love to my friends and foes and I suppose
I'm pleased to be chillin' in the West Indies
Jah provide all my wants and my needs
I got the sunshine and rivers and trees, green leaves, yeah
[Verse 10]
Africa in a we soul but a jah in a we heart
It is of importance that I and I gather
If we cannot show now a balance that we had
How do we propose then to carry it abroad?
[Verse 11]
Cannot go to Ethiopia and do not have a plan
The building of a nation, a hand and help a hand
Every one a lover when a man is just a man
It shall be a coronation when we land
[Verse 12]
Who knows, who knows, baby
I know, I know
[Verse 13]
I'm pleased to be chillin' in the West Indies
Jah provide all my wants and my needs, oh dread
Oh, well, oh
[Verse 14]
And I say we just smoke it up, yeah, man
We just smoke with jah every time
And give thanks, you know
You see that smile I mean
How you mean?
