penthouse floor

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!"
