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 ignore them to survive, maybe we should go, go to the penthouse floor, go to the penthouse floor, let's ride the elevator, they can't keep us out no more, go to the penthouse floor, 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, go to the penthouse floor, let's ride the elevator, it's what we've been waiting for, can't keep us out no more, i heard this old joke once, it was like uh knock knock, who's there, it's us, who's us?, just us, who dis? 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 still downstairs waiting in line, they never been in these rooms, they never stayed with these folks, never laughed at the news, never hated these jokes, so was i fly in my suit, in a group, on the cover, forcing a smile, then he tells me another, he said what happened to the boy that climbed in the trunk, he pushed me off the top he said "jump nigga jump!", oh don't bring me down i need a room in the clouds, i wanna get there babe, i wanna elevate, oh my favourite mix, a little ignorance and bliss, in the penthouse babe, go to the penthouse, go to the penthouse floor, go to the penthouse floor, let's ride the elevator, it's what we've been waiting for, we'll tear down those penthouse doors, those penthouse doors, we'll tear down the penthouse doors, baby, i'm in the penthouse floor, baby, let's ride the elevator, til we can rise some more, go to the penthouse floor, penthouse floor
