Middle Finger Lyrics

[Intro: Mac Miller]
Yeah
And I feel like
Put your middle fingers up like (Uh)

[Verse 1: Mac Miller]
Got my middle finger up and it's pointed to the clouds (Clouds)
Rollin' in with my whole entourage, too many of us to count (Count)
Tell baby girl I'm on that, danger, bring your hard hat
Might not get that call back, so where those stories start at?

[Verse 2: Gabe Saporta]
I step into the club, the haters turn around
My middle finger's up, man, I'm just gettin' down
To get me in the mood, to get me good
I need an aphrodisiac, yeah, aphrodisiac, yeah

And then she pulled me close and told me now
Let's rock the night away
And move your body to the beat like this, like this, like this

[Chorus: Gabe Saporta]
Throw your cups in the air, we so fly
Middle finger up to the sky
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y, in the sky-y-y
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y-y-y-y
Do it all the time (Hey), do it all night (Hey)
Middle finger up to the sky
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y, in the sky-y-y
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y-y-y-y
[Verse 3: Gabe Saporta]
Keep it movin', yeah, I gotta let you know
That you're the only girl who can drive me wild
Yeah, you feel good, better than I thought
You got me so, girl, you got me outta my mind
Now if you want me like I know I want you
Let's rock the night away
Move your body to the beat like this, like this, like this

[Chorus: Gabe Saporta & Mac Miller]
Throw your cups in the air, we so fly
Middle finger up to the sky
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y, in the sky-y-y
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y-y-y-y (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Do it all the time (Hey), do it all night (Hey)
Middle finger up to the sky
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y, in the sky-y-y
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y-y-y-y

[Verse 4: Mac Miller]
We got our middle fingers up
'Cause we don't give a fuck
Little bit of gin mixed in my cup
This is us, so drink that up
Girl, I might need a ride home
You can take me back to your spot

Sure shot, got your heart on lock, call that Fort Knox
Or not, could be a swing and miss
I bet you tryna prove what the meaning of single is

What you got to lose? I'm drunk as hell tryna talk you
No other girl here that's hot as you
It's all slowin' down [?]
[Chorus: Gabe Saporta & Mac Miller]
Throw your cups in the air, we so fly
Middle finger up to the sky
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y, in the sky-y-y
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y-y-y-y
(And it goes like this)
Do it all the time (Hey), do it all night (Hey)
Middle finger up to the sky
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y (Uh-huh), in the sky-y-y
(Throw it up; uh) In the sky-y-y-y-y-y
(Like, like, like, like this, like this, like this, like this)
Throw your cups in the air, we so fly
Middle finger up to the sky
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y, in the sky-y-y
(Throw it up) In the sky-y-y-y-y-y

What did Cobra Starship say about "Middle Finger"?
Genius Answer

Gabe Saporta for MTV about the experience of recording with Mac Miller:

“[Mac Miller] was actually really cool in the studio; that’s actually the first time I met him, when he was he came to do his rap for ‘Middle Finger.’ He was super chill, super laid-back, he wrote his stuff there in the studio. It was good vibes, man […] It gives the song a totally different flavor, and we definitely did that consciously. Most pop songs right now are like straight-up bangers, so we wanted to do something that might stand out a little bit and be a little more down-tempo.”
