Lyrics
[Intro]
Started with a dollar and a doubtful look
They ain’t see a legend, just a dirty hood
Hand-me-down shoes, tread barely on
Now they quote my life like it’s holy songs (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Mama countin’ change on the kitchen tile
Landlord knockin’ like a hostile trial
Fridge light bright on a half loaf
I was talkin’ big plans over canned toast
Same hoodie, five days, that was my fit
Bus pass, long ride, dreamin’ I’d quit
Whole block laughed when I said I’d shine
Now the same ones wait in a backstage line
[Chorus]
From the floor to the penthouse, look at me now (look at me)
Turned every “never gon’ happen” to “how?”
Came from nothin’, had to build it out the drought
Now my name in they mouth, they can’t count me out
From the floor to the penthouse, step by step
Every little “L” that I took made a check
Came from nothin’, now I’m standin’ on the sum
From the bottom of the map to the top where I’m from (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Used to write bars on a court receipt
While they served warrants up and down my street
Homie did a bid, say the time too slow
Told me, “Run far as you can, don’t choke”
So I took that pain, made a blueprint
Turned late-night tears into new prints
Now the chain on my neck from the stress I broke
Every shine that you see from the nights I froze
Auntie in the crowd with her hands up high
Say she proud when she sees how I changed my life
Same lil’ kid they said wouldn’t be much
Now I sign my name on the keys we touch (skrrt)
[Chorus]
From the floor to the penthouse, look at me now
Turned every “never gon’ happen” to “how?”
Came from nothin’, had to build it out the drought
Now my name in they mouth, they can’t count me out
From the floor to the penthouse, step by step
Every little “L” that I took made a check
Came from nothin’, now I’m standin’ on the sum
From the bottom of the map to the top where I’m from (yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
This for every night we ain’t eat right (real)
Every bus ride, every fist tight
If you standin’ where I stood, don’t fold
Turn your hardest days into solid gold (solid)
[Chorus]
From the floor to the penthouse, look at me now
Turned every “never gon’ happen” to “how?”
Came from nothin’, had to build it out the drought
Now my name in they mouth, they can’t count me out
From the floor to the penthouse, step by step
Every little “L” that I took made a check
Came from nothin’, now I’m standin’ on the sum
From the bottom of the map to the top where I’m from (from the bottom)

Style
rap, Triumphant trap-rap with thick 808s and sharp hi-hats, sparse piano stabs in the verses; hook explodes with layered male vocals and airy choir pads. Verses ride a confident mid-tempo pocket, detailed storytelling up close in the mix. Final hook adds ad-libs, risers, and a wider stereo field for a victory-lap feel.
