[Verse 1]
Started where the grocery glow
Hit the corner, learned to move
Mama said, "Boy, keep your head"
I kept my back against the rules
Late-night, counting up my chunks
In the trap with a restless heart
Phone lit up, my line stayed hot
Every play I made was smart
Told my young boy, "Don't get cute"
Hands clean, but the name got weight
If they asking how I came this far
I was built from the pressure plate
New whip, I don't boast, I glide
Chain on, but I learned restraint
Same block, same scars, same grind
Now my suits smell like Saint
[Pre-Chorus]
I was low where the ground got cold
Now the keys go click, click, click
You can feel that switch when I step in
Whole room change real quick
She like, "Boy, you too polished now"
I said, "Baby, I paid that price"
From them nights with my back on the wall
To the sky where I catch my flight
[Chorus]
From the streets to the penthouse
I came up, I came up
From the curb to the jet now
I don't fold, I don't
She love how I pull up
Gold wrist, cold look
From the streets to the penthouse
I came up, I came up
From the streets to the penthouse
(yeah, yeah)
From the streets to the penthouse
(come on)
I came up, I came up
[Verse 2]
She got red lip, dangerous smile
Ride with me when the deals go through
Hates the fake, loves the real
So she know what my hands have due
Took a risk, then doubled back
Never once did I beg for mercy
If it's pressure, I stay composed
Got a calm that the snakes can't dirty
Two-tone watch, passport stamped
Back-to-back in a private lane
One week gone, next week home
Still got mud in my DNA
I keep one eye on the table
One hand on the plan, no slack
If the talk get loud, I don't panic
I just let my silence snap
[Pre-Chorus]
I was low where the ground got cold
Now the keys go click, click, click
You can feel that switch when I step in
Whole room change real quick
She like, "Boy, you too polished now"
I said, "Baby, I paid that price"
From them nights with my back on the wall
To the sky where I catch my flight
[Chorus]
From the streets to the penthouse
I came up, I came up
From the curb to the jet now
I don't fold, I don't
She love how I pull up
Gold wrist, cold look
From the streets to the penthouse
I came up, I came up
From the streets to the penthouse
(yeah, yeah)
From the streets to the penthouse
(come on)
I came up, I came up
[Bridge]
Now the view got me thinking deep
All that pain made the vision sharp
Keep my circle smaller than a whisper
'Cause the wrong smile can break a heart
When the city call, I don't chase it
I just land where the money lives
Then I send that love back home
That's the only flex I give
[Final Chorus]
From the streets to the penthouse
I came up, I came up
From the curb to the jet now
I don't fold, I don't
She love how I pull up
Gold wrist, cold look
From the streets to the penthouse
I came up, I came up
From the streets to the penthouse
(yeah, yeah)
From the streets to the penthouse
(come on)
I came up, I came up
