Pinky up (Up)
Pinky up (Up)
Put this pinky up
One day, soon, the world's gonna end
I'm gonna make out with my new bestest friends
I wanna live large, right before it all burns down
(Up, up, pinky up)
Go hard like we're robbin' the Louvre
We Mona Lisa with a cute attitude
I wanna get high right before we're in the ground
Ooh, we're screaming from cloud nine
No one can touch us if they tried
Ooh, but it's a state of mind
(I-I-I-I bet it goes like this)
Pin-pinky up (Up)
Pinky up (Up)
Pin-pin-pin-pinky up (Up)
Pinky up (Up)
Us against the world, shaking ass in the parking lot
If we get arrested, haha, baby, laugh it off
I love you, you love me, we batshit, oui, oui
And I'd kill him for you if it got that deep
Fancy is a frequency
A mind of delusion, philosophy
I kinda know nothing, just like Socrates
(The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing)
Ooh, we're screaming from cloud nine
No one can touch us if they tried
Ooh, but it's a state of mind
(I-I-I-I bet it goes like this)
Pin-pinky up (Up)
Pinky up (Up)
Pin-pin-pin-pinky up (Up)
(One, two, one, two, three, four)
Pinky, pinky up (Up)
