Penthouse Floor

Lyrics

All this trouble in this here town
 All this shit going down
 When will they focus on this
 Streets ride up with the TV crews
 Look ma, we on the news
 But they didn't notice before this
 They float above the city lights
 Forget the truth, inhale the lies
 Just enjoy the show
 They see us reaching for the sky
 Just in order to survive
 Maybe we should go
 Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Let's ride the elevator, they can't keep us out no more
 Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Penthouse floor
 ♪
 All that bubbly, all that wine, oh man, look at the times
 Didn't they notice, notice
 Only future I can see, ain't what it used to be
 And I didn't know this, I didn't know this
 Once you're above the city lights, won't want to spend another night
 Down there on your own
 The holding on is made for us, the altitude is dangerous
 But we ain't going home
 Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Let's ride the elevator, it's what we've been waiting for
 Can't keep us out no more (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Penthouse floor
 ♪
 I heard this old joke once, it was like, uh
 Knock-knock, who there? It's us, us who?
 Just us, who this? Just playin', just me
 New phone, new hair, new era
 I'm in the penthouse, baby
 Handpicked from bad apples and bad eggs
 Held back, I had to grab crab legs
 And then there were only but a few
 Conversations held with patience, what a party, what a view
 What a dress, what a song, what a beautiful time
 My folks downstairs, still waiting in line
 They never been in these rooms, never stayed with these folks
 Never laughed at the news, never hated these jokes
 So as I fly in my suit, in a group, undercover
 Forcing a new smile, he tells me another
 He said, "What happened to the boy that climbed up the trunk?"
 Then he pushed me off the top and said, "Jump, nigga, jump!"
 Ooh, don't bring me down, I need a room in the clouds
 I wanna get there babe, I wanna elevate
 Ooh, my favorite mix, a little ignorance and bliss
 In the penthouse babe, go to the penthouse
 Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Let's ride the elevator, it's what we've been waiting for
 We'll tear down those penthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Those penthouse doors
 We'll tear down the penthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Baby, I'm in the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Baby, let's ride the elevator 'til we can rise some more
 Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
 Penthouse floor
