Penthouse Floor Lyrics - John Legend

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 the [?] 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 

Photos 

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) 

I heard this old joke once, it was like, uh 

Knock knock, who's there, it's us, us who? 

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 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!" 

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 (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 

Baby, let's ride the elevator 

Til we can rise some more 

Go to the penthouse floor, penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
