Good Vibes Save Lives Lyrics

Shawn and Av, chillin' by the spot,

Watchin' folks walk by, just talkin' a lot.

Avlet, the astrologer, lookin' real keen,

Said, "Yo, that dude right there? He ain't gon' be seen.

He's headin' to the pond, but he won't come back,

A snake gon' bite him, put him off track."

Shawn leaned back, calm, no stress,

"If he's got a good heart, he'll be blessed."

They sat for a while, watchin' folks pass,

Then that same dude came back real fast.

Av jumped up, checked his reed stack,

Found a snake cut in half, just like that.

Good vibes save lives, that's the truth,

When you spread love, it comes back to you.

Ain't no frontin', it's the way you move,

Helpin' others keeps you in the groove.

Shawn looked at the man, said, "You good, bro?

What kinda love you show that saved your soul?"

The man said, "Today, it went like this,

We all share our food, but one dude was missed.

He ain't have nothin', looked kinda low,

So I took the lead, said, 'I'll handle the flow.'

When I got to him, I pretended to take,

So nobody knew he ain't have no plate."

Shawn smiled wide, said, "That's the move,

That kind of heart will always improve.

You saved his pride, kept him from shame,

And now your good deed just saved your name."

Good vibes save lives, that's the truth,

When you spread love, it comes back to you.

Ain't no frontin', it's the way you move,

Helpin' others keeps you in the groove.

Shawn broke it down, "Here's the deal,

Charity ain't just about how folks feel.

It's deeper than luck, it's more than fate,

It can pull you back from death's own gate.

You did right by that man today,

And it came back 'round, kept death away."

The dude stood there, takin' it in,

Realized his kindness saved his skin.

A small good act, just tryin' to share,

But it flipped the whole script, kept him outta despair.

Good vibes save lives, that's the truth,

When you spread love, it comes back to you.

Ain't no frontin', it's the way you move,

Helpin' others keeps you in the groove.

So next time you're out, remember this game,

What you give to others might save your name.

It's not just talk, it's how you live,

Good vibes save lives, that's how you give.
