Penthouse Floor
[Verse 1: John Legend]All this trouble in this here townAll this shit going downWhen will they focus, on thisStreets ride up with the TV crewsLook ma, we on the newsBut they didn't noticeBefore thisThey float above the city lightsForget the truth inhale the liesJust enjoy the showThey see us reaching for the skyJust ignore the [?] survive
[Chorus: John Legend]Maybe we should goGo 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 moreGo to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)Penthouse floor
[Verse 2: John Legend]All that bubbly all that wineOh man look at the timesDidn't they notice, noticeOnly future I can see, ain't what it used to beAnd I didn't know this, I didn't know thisOnce you're above the city lightsWon't want to spend another night, down there on your ownThe holding on is made for usThe altitude is dangerous, but we ain't going home
[Chorus: John Legend]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 forCan't keep us out no more (let's go, let's go, let's go)
[Verse 3: Chance The Rapper]I heard this old joke once, it was like, uhKnock knock, who's there, it's us, us who?Just us, who dis? Just playin'Just me, new phone, new hair, new eraI'm in the penthouse, babyHandpicked from bad apples and bad eggsHeld back, I had to grab crab legsAnd then there were only but a fewConversations held with patience, what a party, what a viewWhat a dress, what a songWhat a beautiful timeMy folks downstairs still waiting in lineThey never been in these roomsNever stayed with these folksNever laughed at the news, never hated these jokesSo as I fly in my suit, in a group, undercoverForcing a new smile, he tells me anotherHe said "What happened to the boy that climbed up the trunk?"Then he pushed me off the top and said "Jump, nigga jump!"
[Bridge: John Legend]Oh don't bring me down I need a room in the cloudsI wanna get there babe, I wanna elevateOh my favourite mixA little ignorance and blissIn the penthouse babe, go to the penthouse
[Chorus: John Legend]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 forWe'll tear down those penthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go)Those penthouse doorsWe'll tear down the penthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go)Baby, I'm in the penthouse floorBaby, let's ride the elevatorTil we can rise some moreGo to the penthouse floor, penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
