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)

You nearly have it right. If only you knew not to feed that which you don't want. Feeding what you don't want rather than exclusively feeding what you do want, the good vibes, causes what you don't want to grow and you get more of what you don't want while wondering why

You used your energy to manifest more of what was rather than what is wanted. When you feed what is, the more of that you will get and you slow down the progress of bringing to reality more of what you want.

The story of your mind becomes the story of your life even if it is not the life you most desire. You make things different in your life and world by write a different story. Then intentionally and deliberately focus the vibe of your energy (your words, thoughts and feelings) on the new story rather than the old story of what was.

What is this very second is now what was. You have the ability to create a new reality but you don't because you spend too much energy focused on what is rather than where you want to go. If your GPS focused so much on where you are when you get in the car, you would never get anywhere. But your GPS doesn't work that way. What is is a reference point for directional purpose while focusing all the energy on where you are going.

In reality your life works the same way. You have an internal GPS system and like the one in your car, it has 3 signals it feeds from; your words, thoughts and feelings.
