Lyrics

[Chorus]
Live if you wanna live
Rastaman vibration, yeah (Positive)
That's what we got to give
I and I vibration, yeah (Positive)
Got to have a good vibe
I a man iration, yeah (Irie Ites)
Whoa, whoa
Positive vibration, yeah (Positive)
[Verse 1]
If you get down and you quarrel every day
You're saying prayers to the devils, I say
Why not help one another on the way?
Make it much easier, yeah, yeah (Just a little bit easier)
[Verse 2]
Say you just can't live that negative way
If you know what I mean
Make way for the positive day
'Cause it's news, news and days (New day)
New time, and if it's a new feeling in the air (New time, new feeling)
Said, it's a new sign (New sign)
Oh, what a new day
[PreChorus]
Picking up
Are you picking up now?
Jah love, Jah love (Protect us)
Jah love, Jah love (Protect us)
Jah love, Jah love (Protect us)
[Chorus]
Rastaman vibration, yeah (Positive)
I and I vibration, yeah (Positive)
I a man iration, yeah (Irie Ites)
Positive vibration, yeah (Positive)
[Outro]
Picking up
Are you picking up now?
Picking up
Are you picking up now?
Picking up (Jah love, Jah love)
Are you picking up now? (Protect us)
Picking up (Jah love, Jah love)
Are you picking up now? (Protect us)
Picking up (Jah love, Jah love)
Are you picking up now? (Protect us)
Picking up
Are you picking up now?
