John Legend - 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
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 (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)
[Chance The Rapper:]
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!"
[John Legend:]
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)

John Legend: OOOOooOoOoOoOooooOoOoOoOooooooo
song in the beginning of the video, please the name?
2:03 Didn't they notices? They were high on wine and other things. Dead bodies all over on floor.
Amazing song rock 😎 😎
What does the penthouse stands for ??
an Ideal World without racial prejudice ??
Why does every 20 something year old dude have that freaking watermelon shirt?
UNDERRATED🙁
Beautiful song.
Chance’s verse left me floored
Amazing 😍
This song is beautiful and this vid I really love music with a passion
Good music?

tHE BASS!!
I’m here from my mom

Thanks John Legend, Very nice.
sam smith WHO!!!???
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YESSSSSSSSSSSS❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like the music not the politics.
great song MUSIC wise --- not sure WHAT message it's trying to stir up, and yeah ....written by a white, conservative, gay guy. Just stop dividing EVERYONE - ALL THE TIME. Canada looks at your Country and says what a Mess ON BOTH SIDES that includes you DEMOCRATS!
timothyj1966 at the very end of my song everyone came together....it's about equality and NOT being divided but i mean...go off sis
Who:’s listening 2019?
What an amazing music video!! We need more of this! The world needs! Congratulations! Speaking from Brazil!
Sou fã do artista certo, pena não ganhar tanta notoriedade assim, talvez ele mesmo não queira...
Pay attention... Such a great message... I appreciate this...
Smooth n sick, same time
One day John Legend. One day it will happen. I have hope!
Imagine how much it would of cost to make this video
John is the real classic man ...
Best website ever
I'm glad John Legend released an official music video for this track. Penthouse Floor is clearly a standout song in Darkness & Light!
What frames are those? Need em
John is the sh*t!! I listened to this the day it came out and still pumped about it, this ninja a G.
I'm just imagining Crow singing this
(If you watch Crow The Legend)
John LEGEND.. The name speaks for itself actually. Yup..
From the album : John Legend - Darkeness And Light [Sony Music 2016] johnlegend.com
THIS WAS USED IN A STAR IS BORN YOOOOO WAKE UP SHEEPLE
I'm angry how this song hasn't won an award yet
What's the song in the beginning?
I really love this song
Chello girl very pretty

Stupid song.

My two favorite artist
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 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)
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 up 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, yeah)
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 (let's go, let's go, let's go)
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, penthouse floor, oh, oh, oh, oh (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Amennnnn
Greenlight was dope too.

How I perceive this video...
Some people are in this world where they could not be bothered by the issues of the world, such as wealthy caucasians, republicans, and even wealthy Afro-Americans such as rappers as depicted in the video.
Some people in this world see and feel it but could do nothing about it because they don't have that power, being the hotel employees.
John is management, hence him being able to travel to the top and letting everyone in, considering his character, it is is more than likely that people with a platform should be helping.
The caucasians police joining in is portraying them just letting people live. I believe that the standoff indicated there could have been a battle but they realized it wasn't worth it and the man inside smiled because that's not what they wanted.
Then, everyone enjoys the top together, everyone should have that right. Best part is that no one changed their clothing, which says that even in our every day roles, we should all be able to live our best lives, co-existing.
Damn, I think your analysis is pretty spot on. I liked the analogy between people that have a platform and the responsibilities that are tied too it.
Leave a dislike!!! Every coin has 2 sides. And with all of the positivity in this video, there needs to be equal negativity.
This is always played on loop (channel v)
love it!!
Ultimate Vibe Playlist tune!
I just listen to this song over and over
i took it to my penthouse then i freaked it
Nice fortnite dance at 3:31
Fluid desk beam sauce interpret traveler learn management husband.
Chi town steppin muzik!!
Cant stop shaking my head to this groove ... DAM I messed up my hairstyle from this groove.. HAHAHA its so worth it. : )
THIS IS SUCH A BOP !! When first heard this I literally scrammed to the Internet to find it and watch it again
Who else keep smiling and giggling when he say elevator. His voice is so hot.
