A friendly reminder to be friendly.

Lyrics:

Do onto them as they do onto you
I wanna be the reason that your day might improve
Go out of my way put you in a good mood
Then get to feel good from the good that I do
It’s selfishly selfless but it feels so good can’t help it
Making someone else feel specials good for my own wellness.
A super hero doesn’t need to have a cape and fly
You can save somebody’s life simply just by being kind
Find a place where you can volunteer time
Let somebody who looks in a rush cut you in line
Compliment somebody’s vibe while they’re passing you by
You’d be surprised how many people just need a high five.

All I’m tryna say

Is if we always look for ways to make people’s day
The world would be a lot less shitty place

Nice guys finish last,
We know that ain’t true
I’ve been paid or paid back for favors I do
If you’re not getting paid for favors you’re still paying dues
But once it switches it’s a trip like you’ve taken shrooms
Do good and good go boomarang to you
Reciprocity’s stitched in civilizations roots
But even if no one reciprocates good things you do
It feels amazing just to make somebody’s day improve
Being kind gets you kind of high
And it’s a good kind of high
I wanna know I made an impact
No regrets lotta proud to say I did that’s
I wanna think that I can change the world with this rap
And make it so when you think giving alms
You say that shit slaps
I live my life by when you give a lot you get it back
And imagine what the world’d be like if everybody did that
Just don’t be a jerk
And if you have the means,
Give generously of your time and money without expecting to be repaid
All I’m tryna say

Is if we always look for ways to make people’s day
The world would be a lot less shitty place
