So Trendy - Lyrics

Flying cars
It's a jet pack man

Will I ever get the brace down there
Under the swivel sticks and stupid hair
Under the access code and the Face ID
There was minute where I had it yeah
Just as the lorry turned and left the air
Under the access code and the Face ID
I'm sick of looking at the windmill gear
A bag of flour and neck scarf 'ere
Under the access codes of the new ID

Chorus
So Trendy
So Trendy
So Trendy
You get seen and you wanna stick to it
So Trendy
So Trendy
So Trendy
You get seen and you wanna stick to it

Hey it's back and bicep day
Check out all my squiggly veins
I got 57 screenshots in one hour just in case
I appeal to random peeps
Through a filter they know me
Think I’ll wear a mushroom haircut and
A cross earring
Wait it's the jet pack man
The mysterious jet pack man
Flying over LAX I wonder where he's off too next

Chorus

You get seen and you wanna stick too it
And I don't need no jet
And fashion suicide
Ya got ya top gun glasses upside down
You goose, ya snide

Ya know they don't chase you
They always chase we
'cos everybody wants a piece
We’re so trendy

 Repeat
