Paroles Penthouse floor John Legend

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 that you 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 whole world on display 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 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 waitin' 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
Forcin' 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 up in the clouds
I wanna get there babe
I wanna elevate
Oh 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, oh oh
