Ibrahim Maalouf, De La Soul - Quiet Culture lyrics

Clouds meander through the pastures
Of the sky grazing on the last bit of
Rays from the sunset
The scenery’s interrupted by the banner
On the plane saying Have you
Gotten what’s yours yet?

Guess it’s time to raise dopamine levels
Lazy feet ready to push on the pedal
Hands upon the wheel to steer, burning
Rubber to discover any new frontier

Loudness in the fun… good times
Splashed over everyone… thе noise
Have a scent smеlls of rebellion is what
The casting of the
Spells in…where nobody reads the fine print

Everybody wants bright lights but what they
Might need is a reset closed eyes get
Focus shows up with a mute buttonnow ain’t
That something jump into the
World without regrets

That's lIfeyou gotta taste a lil’ bad w
The good as you should when you taking a
BIteyou might need a little
Quiet time placed inside ya
Culture after having a
SlIcemove along on the
Path if they ask where you going
Say ya getting it rIght cuz that’s life

She said
Mirror mirror in the palm of my hand
Who's the fairest king in the
Land? she swiped through &
Met a man…who swept her feet of the ground &
Whispered all the right bright
Candy in her crown

Now she high on sugar from the
Places he done took her finer
Things in life can leave ya mind
Inside a pressure cooker color
Of the money hiding red flags from her view
(SO MANY bAGS WHAT TO DO?) pull off
The tags they for you

(now he asks for bedtime)
Should she supply it?
She could use some lovin’ infused in her diet
She let her mind go quietall the noise took a
Backseat with all the drama it employs

A clear head spoke on her behalf…letting him
Know taking it slow works better
For her path the
King was out of time to lend so the Queen’s
Back to the mirror taking another spin

That's lIfeyou gotta taste a lil’ bad w
The good as you should when you taking a
BIteyou might need a little
Quiet time placed inside ya
Culture after having a
SlIcemove along on the
Path if they ask where you going
Say ya getting it rIght cuz that’s life

Polite pressures many of us succumb to
Speed bumps in life we all run through
Pilots to our own turbulence is who we be
Intersecting with others on the same spree
Don't worry bout' we we ain’t disappear
The quieter we become the more
That we can hear &
When the stream calls for us to jump In to
Swim, you can float along the path you intend

That's lIfeyou gotta taste a lil’ bad w
The good as you should when you taking a
BIteyou might need a little
Quiet time placed inside ya
Culture after having a
SlIcemove along on the
Path if they ask where you going
Say ya getting it rIght cuz that’s life
