Backseat to Penthouse

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was broke with a plan Cheap shoes, used phone Mama counted late rent I was learning on my own Two jobs, no sleep Still I wore that grin Same small room, big dream I could feel it in my skin [Pre-Chorus] Now the table’s mine I don’t flinch, I slide They said “wait your turn” I said “watch me ride” [Chorus] From the backseat, now I’m up top From the backseat, now I don’t stop I came up, came up Look at what I got From the backseat, now I’m up top [Verse 2] Used to split one plate Now the whole crew eats Old friends on the line Say they proud when they speak I remember cold nights When the fridge was bare Now the chain on my chest Still got scars in there [Pre-Chorus] Now the table’s mine I don’t flinch, I slide They said “wait your turn” I said “watch me ride” [Chorus] From the backseat, now I’m up top From the backseat, now I don’t stop I came up, came up Look at what I got From the backseat, now I’m up top [Bridge] I still keep my roots close I still know that floor Every loss made me Want it even more If you see me shine That was built, not luck I was down in the dirt Now I’m rising up [Chorus] From the backseat, now I’m up top From the backseat, now I don’t stop I came up, came up Look at what I got From the backseat, now I’m up top
