Have a nice day. *ching!* ✨ PAYMENT ACCEPTED ✨ [Verse 1] Walked into the corner store Pocket full of nothing Asked how much the candy cost Cashier started bluffing “Three good vibes and one hello Maybe say my jacket slays” I said, “BABE, THAT COLOR’S EVERYTHING” She said, “Cool, you’re paid” Got a coffee for a giggle Bought a bagel with a grin Tipped the barista “love your hair” Now I’m financially winning [Pre-Chorus] No coins No bills No interest rates Just tiny human moments At the checkout gates Give a little shine Get a little back Welcome to the economy Where kindness keeps the stack [Chorus] PAY IN SPARKLES PAY IN LIGHT ONE GOOD COMPLIMENT AND WE’RE ALRIGHT SMILES ARE GOLD LAUGHS ARE CHANGE EVERY LITTLE KINDNESS GETS EXCHANGED PAY IN SPARKLES MAKE IT RAIN THROW A LITTLE JOY IN THE PAYMENT CHAIN NO CREDIT SCORE NO OVERDRAFT FEES JUST “HEY, YOU LOOK AMAZING” AND “THANK YOU, PLEASE” [Post-Chorus] ✨ Ching ching You’re adorable ✨ Ching ching Transaction successful Boop!

We’re fine” Gas station wanted twenty I had seventeen laughs So I told the clerk his mustache Had impeccable class Bought a couch with encouragement Got some fries with praise Someone paid my parking ticket By remembering my name Now the bank is just a cuddle booth The vault is full of cheers And every ATM dispenses Validation in your ears [Pre-Chorus] No coins No bills No hidden rates Just “you did good” And “I appreciate” Give a little shine Get a little back Everybody’s filthy rich When kindness fills the stack [Chorus] PAY IN SPARKLES PAY IN LIGHT ONE GOOD COMPLIMENT AND WE’RE ALRIGHT SMILES ARE GOLD LAUGHS ARE CHANGE EVERY LITTLE KINDNESS GETS EXCHANGED PAY IN SPARKLES MAKE IT RAIN THROW A LITTLE JOY IN THE PAYMENT CHAIN NO CREDIT SCORE NO OVERDRAFT FEES JUST “HEY, YOU LOOK AMAZING” AND “THANK YOU, PLEASE” [Breakdown] How much for the groceries?
