Movin’ On Up Today

[Verse 1]
Woke up in a walk-up
Leaky roof
Cold rain
Scrollin’ on a cracked phone
Late for the same old train
Dreams in a shoebox under that secondhand bed
Mama said “baby
Lift your eyes
Look ahead”
[Chorus]
We movin’ on up today
New keys
New sky
New way (oh yeah)
From payphone plans to paid vacations
From hand-me-downs to high elevations
We movin’ on up today
From just get by to “okay
We’re okay”
Laughin’ so loud in our own little place
We finally found our space
[Verse 2]
Got a tiny balcony
Two chairs
Big view
Air fryer workin’ overtime
Slow dance for two
Neighbors know our names now
Not just apartment 9
Plant in the window leanin’ hard for the light
[Chorus]
We movin’ on up today
New keys
New sky
New way (hey!)
From borrowed rides to weekend stations
From paper plates to real celebrations
We movin’ on up today
From “one day soon” to “this is the day”
Laughin’ so loud in our own little place
We finally found our space
[Bridge]
From food stamps to full carts
From side jobs to pure heart
From quiet prayers in the dark of the night
To singin’ out loud in the glow of the light (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
We movin’ on up today
New keys
New sky
New way
From “keep the change” to “here’s the tip”
From patched-up shoes to first-class trips
We movin’ on up today
From just get by to “okay
We’re okay”
Laughin’ so loud in our own little place
We finally found our space
