(Rastaman vibration, yeah, positive)
That's what we got to give
(I'n'I vibration yeah, positive)
Got to have a good vibe
(Iyaman Iration, yeah, Irie ites)

In "Positive Vibration," Bob Marley urges listeners to live positively, to focus on the good in life, and to help each other out. He suggests that negative thinking and confrontations only lead to praying to the devil, and that we should all be striving to make life easier for one another. He also emphasizes the importance of picking up on the positive vibrations around us, of feeling Jah love and protection, and of letting everything else fall aside in favor of this positive mindset.
The song's message is straightforward, but Marley delivers it with his distinctive voice and a catchy, upbeat melody. The repetition of "positive vibration" and other phrases throughout the song reinforces the message and makes it memorable. Many interpreters have seen the song as a call to resist the negative influences of society and to embrace Rastafarian values of unity, love, and peace.
