Good Vibes
Rebelution Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good vibes
We're bringing only good vibes

Whoa oh whoa oh oh yeah

People walking 'round talking down on others
You can't know yourself without knowing about the other
And I know that ain't the right way to go

I've got a hunch that we don't want to diss
Let's move away from hate and prejudice
The racist man, yeah, he's full of it
Let's learn about the culture opposite now
Don't judge a book by the cover
People take a look at the world and discover
That beauty is the word that I think of
When I see the different colors of skin
And I'll rejoice and sing for them

Oh, no, no, no
The hatred keeps building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The tension keeps on building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The hatred keeps building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The racism is killing us

When we come around, yeah
Try to keep compassion on the ground, yeah
Feel a sense of freedom with crowd, yeah
Connecting people with the sound, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, it's a choice to be grateful
People focus on the enemy that's hateful
The daily news has got a picture of a man
They say I'm supposed to hate
So great, just another stereotype to make

Oh, no, no, no
The hatred keeps building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The tension keeps on building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The hatred keeps building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The racism is killing us

Too many times that I've seen the wrong signs
Back up with your hatred in life
'Cause we're bringing only good vibes
We're bringing only good vibes
Too many times that I've seen the wrong signs
Empty out the hatred in life
We're bringing only good vibes
We're bringing only good vibes

I tell ya ease the tension
We all know my kind still got toe punt
If it was an eye-for-an-eye world we all would be blind by now
Love is the key and my yurt is my own
If we are connected by our fingers, let's start telling a line
We speak of love, no fall, but everyday we fly
And the birds fly high
No cheese to stop by
Man-made mountains climb up to the sky
Too much pollution in the mind
Too much pollution in the mind

Good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
Bringing only good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
Good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
Bringing only good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)




Good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
Bringing only good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
