Penthouse Floor Songtext
von John Legend feat. Chance the Rapper

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
