[Verse 1: 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 didnt 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
~#**************#~
[Chorus: John Legend]
~#**************#~
Maybe we should go
~#**************#~
Go to the penthouse floor (lets go, lets go, lets go)
~#**************#~
Go to the penthouse floor (lets go, lets go, lets go)
~#**************#~
Lets ride the elevator, they cant keep us out no more
~#**************#~
Go to the penthouse floor (lets go, lets go, lets go)
~#**************#~
Penthouse floor
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: John Legend]
~#**************#~
All that bubbly, all that wine
~#**************#~
Oh man, look at the times
~#**************#~
Didnt they notice, notice?
~#**************#~
Only future I can see, aint what it used to be
~#**************#~
And I didnt know this, I didnt know this
~#**************#~
Once youre above the city lights
~#**************#~
Wont want to spend another night, down there on your own
~#**************#~
The whole world on display for us
~#**************#~
The altitude is dangerous, but we aint going home
~#**************#~
[Chorus: John Legend]
~#**************#~
Go to the penthouse floor (lets go, lets go, lets go)
~#**************#~
Go to the penthouse floor (lets go, lets go, lets go)
~#**************#~
Lets ride the elevator, its what weve been waiting for
~#**************#~
Cant keep us out no more (lets go, lets go, lets go)
~#**************#~
Penthouse floor
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Chance The Rapper]
~#**************#~
I heard this old joke once, it was like, uh
~#**************#~
Knock knock, who there, its us, us who?
~#**************#~
Just us, who dis? Just playin
~#**************#~
Just me, new phone, new hair, new era
~#**************#~
Im 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!”
~#**************#~
[Bridge: John Legend]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Chorus: John Legend]
~#**************#~
Go to the penthouse floor (lets go, lets go, lets go)
~#**************#~
Go to the penthouse floor (lets go, lets go, lets go)
~#**************#~
Lets ride the elevator, its what weve been waiting for
~#**************#~
Well tear down those penthouse doors (lets go, lets go, lets go)
~#**************#~
Those penthouse doors
~#**************#~
Well tear down the penthouse doors (lets go, lets go, lets go)
~#**************#~
Baby, Im in the penthouse floor
~#**************#~
Baby, lets ride the elevator
~#**************#~
Til we can rise some more
~#**************#~
Go to the penthouse floor, penthouse floor (lets go, lets go, lets go)
